Kohli is right that it is good to kik-start the series with a win. Although India is a superior side playing with weakest side in the world but given the foreign and perhaps difficult conditions at Harare the spectre of uncertainties were there always. Add to that the young side with inexperienced pace bowling attack visiting under a new captain things are not going to be 'walk in the park' as some in the media suggest. It is really heartening to see Virat Kohli has yet again proved his mettle by hitting a match winning century with able support of a responsible knock of half century on debut from Ambatti Rayudu. Although Captain Virat has made all the right noise of praising the bowling attack but the fact remains the inexperienced pace attack needs to improve considerably. Shami Ahmed was ok but needs to be more penetrative and bring in more variety. Vinay Kumar was completely off-colour and he could certainly bowl better.Same with Umadkat.Spinners bowled well but young Parvez Rasul should also get opportunity at the earliest.Coming to Indian batting , one can’t expect Virat to come good every time and what happens if he gets out cheaply ? Can the rest pull through with the opening pair starting to falter yet again. Frankly I am not very hopeful about Rohit Sharma.That is why having Pujara in the playing XI could be more reassuring.

This is a kiddies team except Kohli and Jadeja.. Real stars like viru and ZAK are missing...They stil are thye best even Yuvraj, Harbhajan will be back.. Let us get thrashed by South Africa, then truth will be seen by all.....
I have a gut feeling that this side is not just good enough . More opening options are badly desired .Shikhar Dhawan has failed consistently .He is still a better bet than sehwag anytime and anyday .

How could he score century when he comes at no 6 or 7, just see how many he won matches for India, not century.... I think this is the correct analysis bro.
