everyone seems to be discussing and thinking only about the captain and coach of Indian cricket team.
But so far not many seems to be thinking about Test openers, who are supposed to be the most important one in test team as they are supposed to play out the new ball ( sometimes in seaming conditions).
Now Wasim Jaffer who was established opener has made a duck in both innings, whereas makeshift opener Dinesh karthick played well in 1st test match.
Now will there be any changes for Tour of England, if similar form continues?
Will Virender Sehwag or Gautam Gambhir gets a chance to be part of squad?

I feel it is too early to pass judgement on Wasim Jaffer as he has failed in 2 innings early on. One where he failed to judge the ball coming in as it was a beauty and the second he tried to flick off his bat. But yes he must be under pressure to perform and he will have to deliver. I feel if he gets a start he will be able to capitalise on it.
I feel dinesh kartik has done a good job as makeshift opener but will be able to handle seaming conditions in england with the new ball one can only guess. I also feel gautam gambhir, sehwag and akash chopra should be considered for selection as test openers for england tour.
