Just what we needed. More North India Vs South India content.

Weird to include both Mankad and Engineer in the side and have neither open. Surely take Rohit out and replace him with a MOB.

I thought a more specialized opener would be better for the team.

Vishwanath definitely has to be there. Also, the Hyderabad guy, Azharuddin.

Quite a few India vs India threads being started now. Hopefully real cricket and tour threads start soon.

We are north of our brethren in Sri Lanka tbh.
