Obviously Yuvi should be brought in as it looks the team with the greater batting depth is having an edge .

stylish - nice shot
I think the change most required is replacing dinesh karthik with yuvraj singh.i really cant find any reason why dinesh karthik is stil playing when he stil remains out of form.its true that he is in good form in domestic cricket,but when he cant show that form in international arena,why should he be there in the team and also yuvraj is in very good form.also i think we have to replace munaf patel and bring in sreeshanth or rp singh.munaf patel has also not shown great bowling due to which he can retain his position in the team.i think if the injury has been healed,then we have to bring in either rp singh or sreeshanth.

I feel that there will not be any changes made to the team for the second match, since there has been a tendency with the indian team that if they win a match, they will not change the team for the next match whatsoever, which i feel is a very bad management and this is one of the reason why indian cricket is going in the dumps without any thinking being applied in selecting teams for the particular match.

Yuvi definitely deserves a place in the squad, and we can keep talking about this all day. But the question is where do you fit him? Ganguly after his performance in the 2nd innings has ensured himself a starting place in the next game. Moreover Eden is his home ground. Karthik is perhaps the only one whose place is up for grabs, but would you slot in a middle order player at the expense of an opener? And if you do, who's going to open? I think the Indian thinktank needs to make a tough call, and I expect to see an unchanged side in the next game. That would be tough luck for Yuvi!

i think munaf should be dropped and any other paceman like sreesanth who could bowl at good speed should be brought in.(as rp and sreesanth are injured) we must find an alternative.also karthik must be dropped and yuvi or gambhir must be brought in

I think the first change we need to think about is Munaf Patel. He was a pale shadow of what he is at his best and is better off. So I think RP or Sreesanth might get a look in for the next game. If we do need to make another change, I think we can go for Gambhir in place of Karthik. Yuvi will still have to wait as India would play only two seamers, so Ganguly would make it on the basis of his bowling abilitites. Cheers! Ram
