Should Ajinkya Rahane continue to open in remaining matches?

[Zanjeer]

What about dhawan? Should he sit out in the remaining matches? Discuss.

[Sooda]

I think Rahane should continue, he looked composed enough before throwing it away vs Aus. Dhawan is looking bit short of confidence and looking to almost mindlessly hit his way into form when batting. Perhaps should be given a rest from LOI cricket, let Rahane and Rohit open

[Haarkarjeetgaye]

Steny will gobble him. Id go with Dhawan. he may get out but will try and attack

[Dil Dil India]

Rahane should be in for his fielding alone! I'm not a fan of the guy, I always felt he'd suck at test level (though he proved me wrong in the SA series) and while I don't rate him as batsman in ODIs or T20; I think I'd have him over Dhawan. He's likely to score as many as Dhawan but he'll field much better than him. If you think about it Dhawan hasn't really done much in T20(nor has he played much, mind). I would have said Rahane for Yuvraj but the latter roared back into form in the last game.

I would bring Dhawan back . We need some one to go after Steyn early on & of the three Rohit , Rahane and Dhawan , Dhawan is the best equiped ....if Steyn offers some width though . I like Rahane , but this is a KO match so wudnt take risk with him

[Gollum]

Rahane looked good the other day. Dhawan has looked miserable in all his matches. Wont risk him against the rampant RSA quicks.

[rkt.india]

T20 is the worst format if you are struggling because it does not give you time and can make you look out of depth when you struggle to hit boundaries. He never was a great T20 batsman anyway.

[NareshK]

Dhawan should be back.

[TNAmarkFrmIndia]

No.

[CoverDrive]

right now rahane > dhawan in terms of current form

[King Tendulkar]

Yes defo Dhawan looks a mess at the moment and seems like cant even get bat on ball. While rahane looks in decent touch. Long term different issue maybe and dhawan may come back. But short term no brainer, dhawan is awful at moment

[skindia]

Binny should open the inning

[BlueBee]

Binny should open the inning

:hmmm:

[CommonMan]

or may be Ishant

[ThePhenomenal1]

people want dhawan to start slapping 4s everywhere when they forget that he's out of touch right now and just blocking or mi*****ing and the ball gets stuck in the ground. rather have rahane who can still get u boundaries once set. and rahane had a sr above 100 so its not like he was wasting balls like rohit and dhawan have done early on

[Sidhoni]

Of course he should.

[tatters]

He should but instead of Rohit Sharma not dhawan. Rohit Sharma is a selfish, talentless muppet. To think some people were suggesting he was better than Kohli....

[NareshK]

Rahane is not a LOI batsman. He looks like a fish out of water when he plays limited overs. Just dont understand why they are so adamant in making an ODI/T20 batsman out of him.

[Sandeep99]

Noooo! He's a strokeless wonder.. Dhawan can at least fluke his way to some good performances

[SLICKR392]

Noooo! He's a strokeless wonder.. Dhawan can at least fluke his way to some good performances

Strokeless wonder? Kuch bhi!? Would want Dhawan to open, Rahane's a good T20 player, but will like to have a left hand opening against Steyn.
