SHIKHAR DHAWAN RULED OUT FOR THE REST OF LANKAN SERIES: WHO WOULD OPEN FOR INDIA?

By -
Apart from the dominant perfomance in first 2 days of the first test, nothing went in favour of India. First it was Herath , now its injuries turning out to be the 'villain'. If in the first test it was Murali Vijay, now Dhawan's name too added to the list of injured. When Vijay is recovering from a hamstring injury, at the moment the the hunter 'Shikhar' being ruled out of the series. India's opening combination holds a bit of worry ahead of the second test.

Now its a question for the Indian coaching staff that who will open with Lokesh Rahul im the Sanga's final test. Stuart Binny who joined with the squad can't replace Vijay or Dhawan as an opener, the who will open?

 It would be nice to see Rohit or Rahane opening with Vijay. Both give India a chance to play Pujara at no.3. Otherwise it may be Pujara, who had an experience of opening for 4 times, he has scored 203 runs at an average of 101.5. For the last time he opened was in  Delhi test vs Australia, where he scored 82 while chasing 155,an innings of the kind India would have loved to have had in Galle. Pujara scored 423 runs for Yorkshire as an opener for their season.

Having lost Dhawan already, India are treating carefully with Murali Vijay, who is recovering from a hamstring injury, so we have to wait till the toss time of the second test.

Dhoni "THE SELFISH ARROGANT CREDIT STEALER"

This article is from my Heart. The Title may look strange, but in this country, this title would make a small proportion interested, rather than giving some titles in praise for Dhoni. Dhoni may be the most Popular cricketer after Sachin in this country, but one thing is sure, Even though Dhoni lies second to master in likes, in dislikes he is far ahead than the master. They are very few in number, but they who continuously haunts him, troll him, abuse him. That very few even wished India to lose, just see Dhoni's head down. But unfortunately, Captain Cool always treat those people or media as those three dogs in his house. Am not here to Worship Dhoni, or to go through the milestones he achieved. We watched him, we know him, so there is no need to go through his journey and if I do Words won't be enough to describe that.  There were nearly 453 captains in cricket, but only one won all the three ICC Trophies. ICC T20 WORLD CUP,50 OVER WORLD CUP, CHAMPIONS TROPHY, NO.1 IN TEST...

Whenever India visits England or Australia, Every Indian Fan would have hopes of Building a Solid Foreign CV. When India finishes off their historic Afghan Tesr at Bengaluru in 2 days, I Was there at Chinnaswamy with greater hopes,wishing this time it’s going to be tough for England. Even today I Believe, even after burying all those hopes I Believe, unlike the former visits this series were really tough for home side. Apart From the Second test, Indians were never out of the context. I would say this is the best Indian Pace attack that visited England. 287,180,396,317,161,271,246;- The Bowlers really gave their 100%. Taking 67 wickets out of 70,never allowing a good batting home side to reach 500 or 600 is really an achievement. But Still we lost. How and Why? The difference between both the sides were When Indians had Sessions,England had days. And Test Cricket is all about Days. For me the Player of the Series is Sam Curran,followed by Jos Butler and Ben Stokes. I think the...
