We saw vthe top order batsmen crumble against some genuine pace bowling of Pakistan.The weakness of the so called top batsmen against pace stands exposed. Players like Sehwag,Gambhir and Yuvraj whom we consider the teams backbone are getting old for ODI and we need to replace them with younger players. We also need to have five frontline bowlers.Make these changes soon for the benefit of the team.

3 of the 5 failed batsmen are like "expired" medicines. They should not be blamed. Yuvi cannot be expected to succeed every time. Rohit did not fail. He what he usually does.

yes, forrest gump and faltugupsup..but kohli's injury could pave way for tiwari or rayudu to get a place in ODI team..
Option 1 – Attack the Batsman, don’t allow easy runs, keep the pressure, even boundaries and sixes were scored, still keep attaching. The only chance to win is by bowling Pak out. Possible result 1 – By constantly attacking and not allowing any easy runs; they could have put Pak under pressure and make them take risk for runs and keep up the run rate and these risks coul have resulted wickets and again pressure and they could have stumbled to the pressure. If by this option India manages to win then Dhoni would have been the Hero for next 1 year and India could been ICC rant 1. Possible result 2 – Pak. Could have took some risks and score quickly and finish the game in 35 over’s and that would mean a big loss to India and whole media bash at Dhoni and every tom and dick will cry for Dhoni’s head. Option 2 – Play it safe. Slightly attack and based on the situation, move out the fielders and try to drag the match to maximum possible over’s. Possible Result 1- Pak. Wins in 48th to 50th over. By this method it looks like it is tight match goes till 48 over’s and looks as great fight by Indians. No bigger threat from media or ex players…

i think sending yuvi should have been send in slog overs india could have easily crossed 300 runs .
Pujara ( hopefully will bring in some solidity) in place of injured Kohli and shami Ahmed ( fast medium bowler) in place of rohit Sharma. Promote Ashwin up the order to play in place of Rohit. With this , we will have 5 genuine bowlers . Can also think of bringing in Rahane in place of Sehwag.

Should try Sehwag one more time. Sehwag and Rahane will open, Gambhir will bat at no.3. Throw out Rohit altogether and play Shami; agree with that move.
When Indian cricket will be blessed with out great flop R Sharma?
On what logic they kept Rahane out and included R.Sharma? Please don't say he is specialist opener. Ranane is much better middle ordered batsman then that flopieee .
then chennai then kolkatta what logic is there while fixing tour programm actually first match must have been in chennai then bangalore then nagpur then kolkatta so that teams have to travel minimum distances and get maximum time to practice as indians find less time to do practice that is why they do practice in real match @ sehawag gambhir r very busy u know
