India vs West Indies: 5 wrong signals team India gave with the Rohit Sharma obsession

#5 Unsettle the bowling order

Yadav’s bowling style would’ve suited in the previous test match

There is little sense as to why Umesh Yadav was dropped for the third test, on a pitch which assisted bowlers willing to bend their backs. Perhaps, with the absence of Pujara's and Vijay's solidity and unsure how solid Rohit will be, the team management thought it wiser to shore up the batting order below.

So out went Mishra and Yadav and in came bowlers with better batting abilities - Ravindra Jadeja and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Bhuvneshwar Kumar grabbed the opportunity and his six wickets was one of the driving factors behind the win. But that should shade the reason why the two bowlers with better batting abilities were picked.

India now cannot afford to drop Rohit Sharma again and increase the confusion - rather make it a game of inky-pinky-ponky between the players, before every test! So here's hoping Rohit gets a big knock, his backers go over the moon, and some stability creeps in the team selection.

Meanwhile Pujara, Vijay, Mishra and Yadav need to improve their batting and boundary hitting skills till then!
