Trust us to lose an imp toss on a bowler heavy pitch.
What does it say abt the bowlers India are taking to the WC where in a must win game, on a pitch which is going to help the seamers immensely, India have to fall back on a bowler who is not even going to the WC.
I mean in what is potentially India's last real game before the WC to play a bowler who is not even in the WC squad is just senseless. It is senseless in all situations, barring one, and that one situation is that Ishant is perhaps not going to be fit for the WC and Mohit is being looked at as a potential replacement and has been given a run out there.
Apart from this situation, the decision to play Mohit ahead of Bhuvi and Umesh is a strange one.
India thus with two big calls to make on the squad - Jadeja who is still not fit, and Mohit playing suggests that there are questions about Ishant also being fit.
Anyway, Dhawan against a moving new ball against a top seam attack on the fastest and bounciest pitch in the world with grass on it. Doesn't fill one with confidence does it.
