3 opening pairs India can try for the 4th Test against England  

England v India: Specsavers 3rd Test - Day One
England v India: Specsavers 3rd Test - Day One

#1 Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan

India v Ireland - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup
Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan

This opening pair is definitely the best option on the list because it is already tested. In fact, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are the regular openers of India in the limited overs Cricket and they have been quite successful as an opening pair. Moreover, they have been opening together for a long period of time and they should open in the 4th Test if Rohit gets picked.

Meanwhile, Rohit was part of the limited overs squad against England and he looked in fine touch. Therefore, the selectors should include him in the squad for remaining two Test matches. On the other hand, Dhawan has failed to convert his decent starts into big scores in the ongoing Test series. Therefore, he will be determined to score big runs in the remaining two Test matches.
