since the time srikkanth and gavaskar retired, we havent found regular openers...it started with sidhu and prabhakar, then came jadeja and sidhu, and after an arduous journey, we have jaffer and dinesh(hoo is likely to be droped for next test)..now the team think tank will surely pick yuvi but as opener...am sure even yuvi doesnt like that...any opener can adjust his positions and can play down the order...but any non opener cannot shine as an opener....since, facing the new ball is always demanding than the semi new or old ball...hence, most of tehse post gavaskar srikkanth days, w etry to project lower order batsmen as make shift openers and teh result, they fail miserably.......tehre have been exceptions like sehwag...but we have definitely spoiled teh careers of lakshman and yuvi by asking so many times to open the innings which they are not at all comfortable...hence, either pick two regular openers or ask dada and sachu to open, since they have teh experience of facing new balls(may be they wd have faced more than 50000 new balls) in their life time in ODIs...if they had done so some 10 years ago in 1996(the time they staretd to open in ODIs), india wd not have missed good middle order batsmen...
