Pujara's career is over?

[Trichromatic]

Kohli clearly said that Rohit needs more chances and Kohli will continue to play at no 3.

[urbestfriend]

RHATCTIOS - Kohli  ( Rohit has ability to change the test match in one session ) 

[beetle]

Looks like that.

[express bowling]

What Kohli said in the post-match interview is very worrying.  He will continue to bat at no. 3 and Rohit will play at no.5. 

 

More than Rohit playing,  what is shocking is Kohli willing to put his own career at risk, by batting at a position where he is not comfortable at.....all for the sake of Rohit Sharma. 

 

There is a possibility that there is something outside of cricket that is going on here.

Pujara should go to England and have contract so he can play for England after 3 years for England..Shameful that the guy is benched for proven failure.Kohli looked uncomfortable and restless while sitting in dressing room after getting out cheaply in both the innings and I thought he must have realized his mistake..But no..He is in euphoria of win.

Yes,Pujara's career is over unless NZ/England beat us at home..Australia have no chance.

[Tibarn]

Pujara definitely needs to try to get a long term county stint. He needs to realize he's not fit for the IPL, athletically or batting wise. His career isn't over fully, but I doubt he will play unless injury, as long as Kohli is captain.

I am more worried about our batting line-up's career.  Kohli at 3 and Rohit at 5  is not a good batting line-up, especially with 5 batters.   Kohli is taking test match batting line-ups  too casually and may end up suffering against good bowling attacks.

[Trichromatic]

This guy scored a 100 on tough pitch and lost spot to talent. 

 

Moreover team is ready to take all risks to accommodate this player. This may not be good idea even at home series against teams like England.

I am afraid India is going to learn the hard way about the mistake of dropping Che v England

[Bigg Brother]

One home series loss and Kohli will come back to earth after his world beating talk..You can't become No.1 with such a pathetic batting lineup.Unfortunately,he wont get that reality check soon as we have Ashwin,Jaddu at home.Get ready for another whitewashes in Australia and England next time we tour them.

I think he wants to get his record at 3 straight.  When he bombs there he will tek recource that he tried it for Rohit who himself would have failed then and be replaced by Pujara

More than Che I am worried about Murali Vijay... he is on the wrong side of 30.... Shikar Dhawan is a lot less droppable than Rohit.

What is the need for all this pyrotechnic when Kohli is doing really well at no. 4  ?

But that is a problem of plenty a good problem.  Rohit pujara case is diff.  Rohit will actually hurt indian teams chances,  Rahul Dhawan might actually work.

Yes,that is also nauseating when he talks how Dhawan scored brilliant "80" at antigua..What about Murli vijay who was scoring when you were sittimg duck against Jimmy.

Vijay will walk into any test team at present.

[Trichromatic]

It seems that Kohli has ended careers of both players, Vijay and Pujara

[beetle]

Kohli dropping Monk is just so....I hate him for that.

How can any one drop him?

[Trichromatic]

Btw is this first time a batsman is preferred because he can play attacking cricket in test cricket in captain's dream?

Sad to hear this. Really enjoyed classical test batting of Che. Of late, I don't recall watching a batsman having the patience to leave 6 balls in a row 

 

Appears as if some folks want to make tests, ODIs and t20s similar 

 

Do whatever you want in Odis and T20s. Leave tests for the classic test match fans

[chewy]

Pujara is at cross roads, if he wants to play international cricket there still weaknesses he needs to sort out and work on running too, but also at the same time score bucket load of runs in Ranji and if possible play County or any other overseas domestic first class

 

he is still youngish and got time on his side, BUT  unfortunately needs to let go of his ambition of playing IPL and ODIs.
