[Sagar]

We have to wait & see that

..

Look at SL perfmance against Zimbabwe

Yeah you are right we have to wait.

Because we have seen many matches from 2016, any team can beat to any team in ODI's & T20I's.

In WT20 '16...
Afghanistan beat WI

In CT '17...
SL beat India, Pak beat SA, England & India

WI v Afg...
Afghanistan beat WI

All above are upset, because low ranked team beaten higher ranked team.

A tour needs to be excitin..everythin else is a second thing.

Yeah bro,
I think this was right time to visit England , Australia , South Africa or New Zealand. When we are no. 1 in test.

Great Job

So looks like Dhawan will open with KL Rahul in absence of Vijay.
The question will be will go with 5 Bowlers or play 4 Bowlers to accommodate Rohit Sharma ?

Fun Fact: If Rohit scores 74 in the next innings or 112 in the next 2 innings, he will have a better Test average than MSD :skd :grin
