yup, we have great young batsmen. Those weak links can be sorted in one huge selection move. 1. Sack dhoni (call it a resignation) as test captain and from the squad, citing "focus on WC as the reason" 2. Drop Jadeja 3. Add saha at 6, and ashwin for jadeja. Top 7 of VJ, Dhawan, Pujara, Kohli, Rahane, Saha, Ashwin. Then kumar at 8 so he's not batting early. Then 3 good pacers. Best combo for team imo. If you play binny, then kumar at 9. Can always add GG for dhawan if you want as well

Agree mostly. My preferred team Vijay, Dhawan, Pujara, Kohli, Rahane, Naman Ojha, Ashwin, / New & better alrounder spinner Bhuvi, Shami, Umesh/ Pankaj, Ishant ( as long as he performs )./ Pankaj

backed him 4-5 years ago :proud:

he looked a class player from his FC days.many were accusing him of being a ftb or a mental midget but All I needed to know of him was proved in Durban against the best attack under those circumstance

Honestly our future line up may turn out to be even better especially after 2015 Mooli / Jiwanjot Dhawan / Jiwanjot /Mukund Pujara Kohli Rahane Aparajit /Samson Kl Rahul / Nair / Samson Gopal / kuldeep / chahal Bk Shami Umesh / Suyal Aparajit should be nurtured as a batting AR. Samson can be our counter attacking batsman. Pujara / Kohli as captain.

I am not sure about Jivanjot. Need to see how he performs in A tours outside the subcontinent. Same about Mukund. Maybe some new opener will emerge. The rest of the batting as well as spin prospects look very promising. I am especially eager to see if some exciting leg spinner is actually promoted after Dhoni goes. Regarding the pace attack .... there won't be any bounce if Shami, BK and Umesh constitute the attack.
