@Gobinaath bro, See even Sanjay Manjrekar is worried about Parthiv Patel as a keeper. Taking catches and taking them at ease without fumbling gives tremendous support not only for the bowlers but also for the men who stand at the slips. Parthiv Patel is no where close to good with his keeping having seen his fumbles in his last test he played for India in India recently when Saha was injured. Having said that Parthiv is 200% more valuable as a batsmen but its Test cricket. So 1st priority should be keeping. That is exactly what the team management and selectors are considering too. Opinions might differ. But since he is playing, I really hope he does well for India.
 
Bhuvneshwar kumar dropped or injured???
Droppee bro. As per Kohli said...
Virat Kohli: It is a no brainer. We would've wanted to bat first as well. The pitch looks very different from what it looked a couple of days ago, all the grass has been taken off. It is more of a situation that's tricky out here, hopefully the bowlers will step up. Saha has a hammy niggle and we do not want to take a chance with him. KL Rahul comes in for Dhawan and Ishant comes in for Bhuvi to get some extra bounce.
