3. Rohit Sharma

Virat Kohli has endured much criticism over his decision to play Rohit Sharma in Rahane's stead. Kohli's decision was, however, justified, based on Rohit's truly magnificent form recently, in all three formats of the game. Last year, he played two test matches where he scored 217 runs in the three innings he batted, and remained 'not out' in two of the innings. But, in these two most recent test matches, he has seemed to have lost much of his confidence, only scoring 78 runs over four innings. He's allowed some glimpses of his former self to be shown during the second inning of the second test match, so let's hope that he continues to recover and regains his confidence and form.
