What should be India's batting order in this 4th innings.
Should Tendulkar come 1 down because of his form ? Or is there a chance for pujara to come early to keep experienced players handy for unforeseen circumstances. Or will you have a different approach ? How about Dhoni coming 1 down to accelerate the run rate ?

I would recommend one change in the batting order tomorrow. I would move Pujara to one down for this match and have Dravid play a bit lower. That way we are allowing the youngster to play with less pressure on him. And for another we have Dravid as a backup if we have to play for a draw!!
Cheers!

No. India should not change its batting order. They should stick to their batting order. You seem to have some doubts about the ability of Dravid but I feel if India Wins or even draws the match to day, Rahul Dravid has to be a key man. He has to hold one end up while other batsmen scores around him. Changing the batting order we are not going to achieve any thing only disturb the mental peace of the batsmen.

looks like Dhoni is thinking like you. There is an unchanged batting order on cricinfo display panel.
Regarding Dravid, i still have utmost faith in dravids abilities. I wanted him lower down to take more responsibilities. Pujara may not handle the pressure of 4 down well enough.

Hi there,
The captain knows better. After the days play all must have sat together to chalk out a plan so that India reaches the target without any major setback.
Yes, a little change in the batting order would not be a bad idea but would not experimenting at this stage be fatal too.
Whatsoever the batting combination we want a win there by India.
