there shud be a solid batsmen who shud anchor the innings. Rohit showed lot of class ,technique and style in his batting,but he failed miserably in the two innings.he has the technique but his mindset is of T20,hence he lacks a level patience. I dont know why they are not selecting Badrinath,who has a decent technique and there are plenty more as India is know for best batsmens around the world. Need to select them wisely with no partiality.

Bring in Ojha, he has been in terific form overseas. Rest Kohli he is either out of form or it is not his time. Promote Ajinke up ( he has opened innings)and bring Pujara down. Give Ishwar Pandey a chance in place of Pankaj Singh. May as well give a chance to another pacer in place of jadeja if possible. Retain rest of the sqaud.
If the Oval pitch favours spinners like in olden days, then Jadeja should replace Aaron. India should play with 6 full pledged batsmen at all times ,when they play overseas tests especially in England, S.A & Australia.
