We have got a similar player Rishi Dhawan,so how about Rishi at 7 or 8?

We have to let Rishi Dhawan have a good long run in the side. He is fantastic talent. He deserves the kind of run Rohit has gotten for so long. No pressure of being dropped, just play.

Proven talent is irfan,he was doing well in t20 format recently

And Dhoni brings him to Pune now. How I wish he was available for Indian duty.

Congrats to India, the new #1 Test Side.

India could lose the title though, without having played a single game as #1, if Aus win their upcoming series vs NZ. The weird ways of the ICC test rankings

If Australia don't win, and its even a draw then India retain the title. If India after the May update are still #1, then given that India mostly only play at home, India can look forward to a good run at the top.

There are no updates about him, but I highly feel that he will not be playing anymore competitive cricket.

Meanwhile, Sreesanth takes on a new role with the Hyderabad team in the upcoming season of Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) — he will be their bowling coach and advise actors on how to improve their skills.

Harsha Bhogle on Facebook.

"There has been much talk of how disappointing the bowling has been in Australia. I believe there is also a cultural angle to it. We often call India a batting country and you can see that reflected everywhere including in the over-the-top reaction to an innings of a thousand.

We often talk of the Big 4 (Sachin, Rahul, Sourav, VVS). Occasionally, and appropriately, we talk of the big 5 with Sehwag included. We never talk of the Big 6 (Anil Kumble?). We never talk with the same fondness about a Srinath or a Zaheer or a Harbhajan.

The message drifts across to the next generation. If you want to be a star you have to be a batsman. And we are seeing that in the next generation with Virat Kohli.

There are many other factors but the way you celebrate your heroes is a vital one."

The guy has actually made one valid (and strong) point there.
