hi friends.i cant recall the batsmen who played at no.3 other than dravid in test matches but at the current squad,who is the no.3 batsmen?dont worry.i will give u options.A.gambhir B.raina C.yuvraj d.dhoni E.sachin F.yusuf.i dont recall sachin at NO.3 so we will remove him from the list.so who is the no.3 batsmen.surely it cant be gambhir as he is the opener when sachin is not playing and he didnt even bat in the last match.cant be raina as he always plays as number 4 batsmen usually after gambhir.yuvraj comes to that position very rarely and dhoni pop out to that position when his team needs him.SO WHO IS THE NUMBER 3 BATSMEN?WILL WE EVER GET A SPECIALISED NUMBER 3 BATSMEN LIKE DRAVID AGAIN?

Yes you did the right thing by removing tendulkar from the list because its foolishness to play him anywhere but the top of the order. And as long as sachin plays gambhis has to play one down. But the ideal no.3 would be raina as he can be ve very aggresive even more than gambhir and can also build an innings when required. So he is better option than the others like yuvraj as he is a shaky starter against spin bowling

at present Indian team is in full form..everyone are playing very nicely...so whoever get downs in no.3 position can manage to play...but it ll better when dhoni plays in no.3 position..and yuvraj can b in position 4..both yuvraj and dhoni's combination ll bring good score to our team..

i think after dravid its lakhman who has to take the spot of no 3 .i think it s he has got the right mentality nd ability to do justice to the no3 spot which is a crucial position ......
