Murali Vijay went into the England Test Series as India's no. 1 Opener in Tests. He was India's most trusted opener in foreign conditions but that trust lasted for just two Tests in the England Series.

Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul were the second and third openers in the Indian squad but they were the ones who were given an opportunity for the remained of the series even though they performed in a similar manner in the first two Tests.

Vijay has a technique which is far superior to Dhawan's or Rahul's and it was unfortunate to see him dropped mid-way in the series while Dhawan was backed and was given an opportunity to perform throughout the five-match Test series despite him having a poor overseas record.
