A sad way to end for Yuvraj's International career...

Might be.

With bulk of the matches after IPL being tests..don't think he will be called back. And he himself should call it time even though I think his performance has been good.

If I were Dhoni I would open with Pandey in place of Dhawan and have Negi in place of Yuvi. But as I am not Dhoni and Dhoni is Dhoni, he will replace Yuvi with Rahane and play him at no. 4 where he is a clear misfit.

 

If Rahane is preferred over Pandey, then Rahane has to open and have Rohit down to 4. Rohit used to bat in middle order and still does in IPL so he's used to it. Rahane OTOH can only contribute as an opener.

Damn, this means that we will rely more on Pandya's bowling than we would if Yuvi was around.  That is bad news.  Windies sloggers will murder this kid's bowling....

They will murder yuvraj's bowling too on that small ground.

Cannot lose part-time option of Yuvi.

Replace Dhawan with Manish Pandey.

Replace Yuvi with Negi (so we can get 2 overs if needed).

 

Dhoni will instead do a more crazy swap of Rahane for Yuvi, or Pandey for Yuvi.
