Does Team India need to make any changes for the 2nd Test?

Sehwag and Gambhir were struggling against Kiwi pace bowlers on a slow track,as we all know that opening is very important in any form of cricket especially test cricket.India has young and inexperienced players in middle order, openers getting out early and exposure to new ball can cause a collapse.Keeping in mind that Indians will be facing Anderson, Broad and Finn later this year,i am not sure about this opening combination.Its time that Sehwag should give up as opener and also some solid player should come in place of Raina, like you mentioned correctly Raina has been tested and he has been big failure against swing and pace.Like great Ganguly mentioned many times after hammering in England emphasis should be to prepare a team which does well overseas.This team may have beaten Kiwis but still they are far from being a competitive team when they tour.

I as a cricket lover would like to see some fast bowling treat by Ishant Sharma.Yes, he has been out of team for long time now, but he is a serious talent that BCCI should look into future and give him a go. However we have seen good display by spinning duals Ashwin and Ojya in Hyderabad. Now action shifts to Bangalore, who again spin is prominent but still Ishant inclusion in playing11 will do good for team and Ishant himself. Coming to Raina I don't think he will be dropped from playing11, because he deserves a couple of opportunities after good one-day series against SriLanka.

I think no need to change the team structure and droping Raina is not make sense because he played just one innings and he played well in the ODI series against Srilanka, I think we have to see another couple of tests, if Dhoni wants to give a chance to some young people then they can make a changes.

Hello ram_cv, I don't think that Dhoni will change the current playing eleven for the second match. I think we can give one more chance to Suresh Raina. Even though he was not good in the first, it is his responsibility to contribute something to the team total .
