As Dravid is injured he will not be able to play the match.
so who will be playing in number 3 taking the responsibility that dravid took in his shoulder for long time.
laxman is also doubtful,so the 3rd position is very very important.
many belive that gambhir should come down and take the responsibility.
but the viru gambhir opening patnership is the main reason for india to be number 1.
if virat was in the squad ,then he would have been a perfect replacement for dravid!
What do you think?

I am pretty sure that Vijay will take the number 3 slot. I would have preferred Vijay and Sehwag opening the innings and Gambhir coming in at number 3. The reason is that with wall out, Gambhir seems to be the right player for the number 3 spot. For Vijay to fill in will be a tough ask as he will be under tremendous pressure if India loose a quick wicket.
Cheers!

as you said vijay should play at number 3.
gambhir is opening innings in almost all matches,and he plays his role very well, so why should we drop him to no 3.
and the team management is also not happy to play gambhir at no 3 due to this reason

No doubt that under normal circumstances I would love Gautham to continue to open the innings, but here we have three really inexperienced players in our batting line-up, so I feel it would be better for Vijay to open with Sehwag followed by Gambhir and Tendulkar, Badrinath, Dhoni and Saha in that order.
But I guess it would be Sehwag and Gambhir to open with Vijay at one down.
Cheers!

no dude gambir is having a goood touch at the top of the order he should not be moved down the order since that may affect the opening partnership which is very important for tomorrows match

In that time mostly player of indian team are injured..and in today's morning another one player are injured in practice session.. Rohit Sharma are also injured today.. and VVS Laxman are unfit ..and he doesn't play in first test match.. so here is a big problem for indian team ..to choose player.. I think Dinesh Kartik was best replacement in position of Rahul Dravid.. but unfortunately he didn't nominated in indian team squad.. but Badrinath are in team.. so now if we talk about badrinath.. then i think he can be a good replacement for india in position of Rahul Dravid.. becuase in that time 2-3 players are injured.. so he is the one and last options for india.. but i prefer Dinesh kartik.. unfortunately he in not indian team squad.. so now we have depend on Badrinath.. he makes some good innings in domestic cricket.. but he has not experience of International Test Cricket.. and i wish for him.. that he performs good in test cricket against South Africa.. Thanking you.. keep mylotting always..

yes dinesh karthik was a perfect one ,but unfortunatly he is not taken in the squad.
i dont know what is the reason.
he was in good form also and he proved it in the duleep trophy by hitting 100s in both innings

i don't think so that, any can takes a place for rahul dravid, because he is undoubtedly, one of the greatest batsmen of test cricket born ever yet, he have excellent defensive technique, he is simply incomparable amongst any other test cricketer, but as a option of replacement and as a cricket lover, i would recommend gautam gambhir, because in recent years, he has been giving consistent performance, so it seems that his future and forthcoming period is quite better

i also mean a replacement for 3rd position.
gambhir is playing amazing cricket at the opening spot,so india cannot drop him to number 3 .
then who will play at number 3?

I think now dravid is not playing then sachin should come at number 3 if openers play really well in the start of their inning others vijay is fine placement at 3.

i think indian is in not having good time in injuries . i think murali vijay should be the best replacement . he has a good style of play and he is in the midst if a very goos season and has played for india in 2-3 matches which would have jelped him a lot . the place of yuvraj will replaced by badrinath who is a very unlucky player who has been in domestic circuit for a long time without much of a chance in the indian team which he deserved ....let him utilise this chance to good extent .. virat kohli could have been given a chance if laxman is injured but rohitb got it who is also having a goood ranji season .. lets hope that we could play well anf=d maintain our number status .....

i think if virat was there in the squad he would have been a better replacement for dravid than m vijay.
he proved that he can bat at no3 position with taking responsibilities.
