#1 Ability to give steady starts
Ad
With KL Rahul looking to go all guns blazing right from the start, Vijay could be a perfect partner at the other end and could steady the ship. A suggestion that Parthiv Patel could open has been put forth if Shaw is not fit enough for the second Test. But the wicket-keeper batsman is not as technically strong as Vijay.
Vijay has a solid technique and is capable of playing in different types of situations. If he overcomes his mental block, the right-hander has the ability to play long innings and set a steady platform for the middle-order.
