Rohit Sharma ruled out for the rest of the tour due to injured finger | Murali Vijay called in as replacement

Rahane with Dhawan

[SLICKR392]

So who will open than?

Rahane-Dhawan They tried that combo in Asia Cup. It was romantic.

[yoda]

Perfect time to throw Samson in the mix, but I expect Dhoni to go with Vijay and keep Samson/Rayudu in the bench.

Jadhav :call:

[vvvslaxman]

India lacks big hitting options. We are left with Raina and Dhoni. Kohli being out of form means India heavily depend on these two. M Vijay is very much in Test match mode. Seen before he struggled to adapt. Expect the same now.

[rahulrulezz]

When will K.Jadhav get his chance.. Sick of BCCI selectors.. I don't think they even do their job

[-Robin-]

Sharmas and timing of their inuries Rahane can open and Rayadu can play in middle order whats the need of Mooli.

Poor guy cannot catch a break

We didn't lose to a team named India, we lost to a club level Indian team CSK ~ Alastair Cook. https://twitter.com/mainbhiengineer/status/504677971324452864

We didn't thrash India. we thrashed a club level Indian team CSK - lol

IMO there was no need to send any replacement. Not to mention they messed up by sending Vijay rather then looking up to build future

[Marco Polo]

Match is tomorrow, right?

[GautiMaan]

Poor replacement. Naman ojha would have been handy.

This Patil keeps mixing formats,Vijay has found some rythm in test cricket and now called up to ODI side where he will revert to leg side hoicks.

[kosingh]

Vijay being brought in is just a strategy the BCCI is using to indirectly push the players to send their WAGs back to India!

[Marco Polo]

Vijay is a good replacement. You need him to play ⚓ role in these conditions like he did in test matches so that the hacks like dhobi can slog at the end of the innings.

[SLICKR392]

'Vijay to play the same role in ODIs.' 'Hacks like Dhoni can slog.' You've leveled up, brother. Congo!

[undisputed chap]

Dhawan is miserably out of form so they could have sent in someone who can gain some experience + replace Dhawan after nohit returns

why isn't dhobi not playing up the order? don't we all know he isn't good enough to survive the new ball? Now, don't show me the one or two innings he played in test matches. Amit mishra did a better job in 2011. :ha ha:
