India came out victorious within three days in the first test match against South Africa. It was a pitch that assisted spin and was to the liking of the Indians. Many batsmen struggled to cope with this pitch, except probably AB De Villiers, Murali Vijay and Chateshwar Pujara. What do you think the pitch will be like in Bangalore? Do you think India will get another spinners' paradise? Why did they include Gurkeerat Singh in the squad just before the match?

Well, the pitch does look like a spinner pitch!! 2 wickets to Ashwin already!!! Lets hope that we dont fall to the 4th innings scare too!! All the best to the team!! Surprisingly Amit Mishra is not playing!! And how the hell did Stuart Binny get another chance.. His dad is using full use of his tenure in Selection Committee!! The minute he goes, Stuart will go too!!

Yes, Ashwin took two wickets; but, doesn't look like a spinners paradise. Surprising decision by Kohli to bowl first. Yes, it is unfortunate to leave out Amit Mishra in place of Binny. If really, a third seamer is needed, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar could have been a better choice. Roger Binny is no more part of the selection committee. He was removed about a week ago to avoid conflict of interest. Probably, Binny got a chance because this is his home ground and Virat wanted some batting reserve.

@a_manick Maybe!! Bhuvneshwar, Umesh and Gurkeerat have been sent back to play for Ranji!! So this is it for them in this series!!

@a_manick Sir, Kohli seems an intelligent captain. Does not want to do the mistake Dhoni and his men did during ODIs and T20s.

Hopefully India wins Test matches. Dhoni gave us embarrassed defeat in front of the guests.

Don't forget that Dhoni gave us the ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup and No. 1 Test ranking. Even the ODI series was lost only 3-2; except the last match, it was a close contest.

Yes, India had an upper hand at the time rain intervened. May be rain Gods did not want to spoil a wonderful player like ABD's 100th test match.
