Read a super piece in cricinfo titled "Year of Denial for India". After displaying hithero unseen patience, Indian selectors have finally made significant changes to the team.
I still have a few thoughts on the team composition. Sehwag as I have blogged earlier has to move to the middle order. Virat Kohli is by far (despite recent failures) our best batsman has to play at 3/4.Dhoni should be allowed to play with freedom sans captaincy.
Bowling cupboard is bare. Clearly Kumble's absence is felt and would be felt more than Tendulkar's. Umesh Yadav is decent and for sheer lack of options Ashwin, Ohja would be in the team. I would still back Praveen Kumar to play for India -- wonder why he has been sidelined
My top team would be:
Gambhir
Rahane
Pujara
Kohli
Sehwag (c)
Tiwary
Dhoni
Ashwin
Ohja
Praveen Kumar
Umesh Yadav
