The Indian team for the test series with South Africa is being chosen today. The core of the team selects itself but injuries and form concerns would lead to a few changes. One of the contentious issues would be the opening slot. Wasim Jaffer had a horrendous tour of Australia but I guess is allowed one bad tour. He has been one of our most consistent batsman in past 18 months and deserves to retain his place.
My team would be as follows:
1. Wasim Jaffer
2. Virender Sehwag
3. Rahul Dravid
4. Sachin Tenduklar
5. Sourav Ganguly
6. VVS Laxman
7. Mahendra Singh Dhoni
8. Harbhajan Singh
9. Anil Kumble
10. RP Singh
11. Ishant Sharma
Rest of the squad:
1. Murali Karthik
2. Irfan Pathan
3. Gautam Gambhir
My gut though suspects that Gautam Gambhir may play ahead of Wasim Jaffer and Piyush Chawla may get nod ahead of Murali Karthik.
