I thought Yusuf.Because if he gets some more time in the middle he can be more devastating.So he should be sent to open the Innings.
-And vijay as the one down batsman if Gambhir gets out.
-Raina as one down if Yusuf gets out.
Yuvi and Dhoni will follow to finish the innings.
What are your opinions on this??

if gambir is fit to play at one end then murali vijay is to be opened with him.
if he is not going to open, then why the selectors took him as aopener, that too in the place of viru. murali vijay should open and prove his talent in indian cricket, he was selected above uthappa, so he should consider that and should perform to atay in indian team.
if gambir is injured then yusuf should be opened with murali vijay. because indian team needs a good partnership in the opening wicket.

If gambhir is not fit I think you are right.Then yusuf and Vijay should be good opening pair.

I don't think it really makes much of a difference.
Taking into account the format of the game,the pitch doesn't really get affected during the 20 overs.The thing is you should send those who are confident of playing well,going to get huge runs fast.It's not wise to send the same person at the same position or deciding on his position in the line-up.
The order of the line-up must be unique for each match.
happy mylotting lol!!...

yes that is what I mean we should not send the same batting order for every match.we should make some changes so that we keep the opposition team keep guessing.
As u mentioned also every match needs a line up.

Then u mean to say that Murali Vijay should be dropped.but he is in good form.also Karthik is not as devastating as Yusuf.
