Exactly bro, In this time iam thinking abt 2003-04 series where our success was mainly due to opening combination of viru-aakash chopra, where aakash max wud score arnd 40's almost every inngs which took shine of the ball & pressure off the middle order meanwhile sehwag took the game with his attacking style in no time,Here if we don't require viru if both played like Aakash in 2nd test the result wud ve been better. Also we depends entirely on kohli, pujara & Rahane in playing 11. As i said we fail to create a pool of test batsmenk(openers & middle order), Now only Players like Mayank, Shaw.
with only 3 persons how could we even think of a win. To make matter worse, still can't figure out on what basis they ve selected Rohit Sharma for this series, very poor selection. Instead they cud ve discussed names like Ambati Rayudu who i feel is much better & have good temperament to play in test matches.
