Our Selectors should have chosen both Abhinav Mukund (instead of Murali Vijay) and Unadkat (instead of Sreesanth). It was a wonderful opportunity to blood both youngsters and see how they fare against one of the toughest cricket teams, which would have augured well for the future. Abhinav is a left handed, solid and attacking batsman.This could have provided the ideal left-right opening combination as well. Thank God, atleast they have give pujara an opportunity in this match

I agree partly. Abhinav is in tremendous form and is much compact opener than Murli Vijay who is very poor in technique. Since there is already a left handed seamer in Zaheer it was a good move to play a right handed Sreeshanth for variation.Mithus should have been chosen for this Test instead of Jaidev
Again rediff gets it wrong. There are three changes in Indian team. Vijay in place of Gambhir, Pujara in place of Laxman and Sreesanth in place of Ishant.
