My msg below appeared 4 times for which Rediff has to take the blame... it stopped at 4 times becaz i quit the page otherwise i feel it cud hv been more too.....
It was thought that it will be difficult to replace the likes of Gavaskar, Vishwanath, Vengsarkar and Azhar.... it was done better with Sachin, Sourav, Dravid and Lax.... i think exp says that as of today, Rohit sharma, virat kohli, raina and pujara seem to fit the bill... and if u care to note, there will always be a surprise selection of a teenager , the like of Sachin, Kohli or Rohit sharma, who will make the grade and will be a replacement... every country springs a teen age surprise, unheard of, as a stock player.... india had sachin, azhar, kohli and rohit sharma, pak had a few players, aus as recently had pacer cummins, do not worry replacements will come of their own on the horizon. With Sachin can a couple of years more, Laxman is very much fit to play 3 or 4 yrs more, no need to worry. Only Dravid seems like quitting but the way he looks it wud not be a suprise if he plays a year or two beyond 40. He looks lean, mean and hungry... India need not worry about replacement for another 2 or 3 yrs... Carry on Sach,Lax and Dravid...

Rohit, Raina, Virat are good on slow Indian pitches. So long as we dont venture into Aus, Eng, NZ, SA we will be fine.
Gambhir isnt the same player anymore after his injury. Sehwag is a sweet timer not technically capable batsman. With age his reflexes will deteriorate & hence in 2 years he will be a fluke like Kapil. In short we need five replacements. So the future looks quite gloomy. Anyone calling for the big three to retire quickly need to pull their heads out of the sand & look around.
I dont see many capable youngsters. Rahane needs to prove himself, Parthiv has had many chances. Jadeja cant handle pressure, Yuvraj is better at being a playboy though he has his moments of brilliance.
People calling for Sachin to retire are just blind of jealousy So guys heres a challenge for you. Name one replacement for each of: Sachin, Rahul, VVS, Gambhir & Sehwag Lets see what you got Truth is tough to handle.
Re: Pujara is the only capableone, Sachin still IRREPLACABLE

Rahane needs to prove himself - as you said. And Pujara doesn't?
