Bhajji with 413 test wicket is just 1 wicket away to equal Wasim Akram's tally of test wickets and need 2 more wickets to become the ninth highest wicket taking bowler in the world. With Mohali being his home ground I am sure he will reach this milestone in the first innings.
If we r to believe that this is also the last series of the master then rahane will replace him in middle order -with ojha replacing harbhajan -dhoni's dream of building his own team like dada ganguly will be complete

Bhajji must play to push Wasim Akram to 10th spot and become the 9th highest wicket taking bowler in the history in test cricket. He is just 1 wicket away to equal Akram's record and 2 from becoming the 9th highest wicket taking bowler.
shikar dhavan is in team due to politics of arun jaitly who is from delhi. he has no talent whatever. we have seen hin in IPL and he cant play fast bowling. hope he gets golden ducks in all the matches. young talented technically sound Abhinav Mukund would have been better choice to partner in form dashing Murali Vijay

SDhawan is falmboyant and agressive but does not mean technically superior to Amukund, take WI tour where A Mukund showed more promise with temperment....i would like him a go with SA tour in sight
There is not doubt you need to give opportunities to youngsters but I strongly believe not at the cost of other youngsters (Rahane & Tiwari)....its absolutely to sucking to see people benched for 1-2 years long.....Dhoni sucussfully did it with TIWARI by benching him for long long time with out giving him enough opportunities........not he is on to RAHANE....this poor chap first entered into test Team more than Year back but yet to play a test................ This is not at all fair
Re: Is dhoni playing fair with RAHANE & TIWARI etc???

You may be right. But so long as grandfather of Indian cricket team remains in the side, both Rahane and Tiwari will have to warm the bench.
It looks like a greentop.. Will our batters overcome the hurdles... ? The opening pair will be tested by siddle and starc, ball'll be swinging for atleast 20 overs or even more.. Lets hope India continue its earlier good work done in the series...

well...let s wait to see how it looks 2moro. my guess is that dhoni would hv pressed for another rank turner and that the grass surely has to go! anyways, the one that wins the toss will bowl first and exploit the hard surface before it wears away.
Shikhar Dhawan gets a chance to do well in the next two matches,his debut in Test cricket.A big match temperament and a strong mental balance would see him through these initiations in to Test cricket.Consistancy is also required to cement ones place in the side.Best of Luck India to wrap up the series at Mohali.
