Don't think Rahul is an LO material, he just throws his wicket.

Can't see the logic of holding Pandey down. He needs to open or bat 1 down.

Virat opened the innings and that too as a first ball facer...? I think he has got over-ambitious and extra confident with this decision. As a captain and strong batsman at No.3 Slot, He should not leave his place and take through the innings in middle like he does usually instead of opening. Aggression is good but to a level...

Yuvi isn't T20 material. Would've been better to open with Pant, Kohli at 3 and Raina at 4.

He opens in IPL. And he was amazing. Since Rohit is not there, he opened with Rahul

He has played 15 games in IPL as opening batsman last season and except one match (where he got out for a duck) he has succeeded in all the games with 4 hundreds and some fifties.

Comparing IPL with international cricket? Really? Do you think he'll get to face bowlers like Ishwar Pandey and Piyush Chawla?

IPL vs International, A Different ball game. Fair enough if some opener was missed out and he took a chance, but for longer basis, I dont see it a good decision.
