Cheteshwar Pujara and Rohit Sharma have great records at home and poor returns in away Tests.
Rohit averages a whopping 85.44 in nine Tests at home, but only 25.35 in 16 away Tests.
The difference of 60.09 between his home and away averages......
Pujara has 62.97 and 35.76 respectively : a difference of 27.21 between his home and away averages,

I just don't get it : why India lost both matches ?
is it Kohli's poor captaincy OR the selectors poor choices of bowlers ?
example : where is my favorite seamer, Bhuvi ?
and why Parthiv with gloves ; heavens, Morkel nearly damaged him in the chest !

Just saw this !
With Ajinkya Rahane sitting out the first two Tests in South Africa
Virat Kohli has now dropped every player in the Test squad at least once
except Hardik Pandya who has just come in and is five Tests old.
Kohli, however, will accept no criticism of the XIs he has selected on this tour.

"You spoke about it not coming together well - has that maybe been because of the chopping and changing of selection?
In over 30 Tests that you have been captain, you have changed your starting line-up in each and every Test you have played?
To win Test matches you need consistency, and you have been lacking that part.
What would you put that down to, and how would you say that you will continue changing your team
and still expect different results?"
Kohli: "How many Test matches have we won out of 34?" :cheer:

I think India made a huge mistake dropping Rahane for this last test.
what they thought his skill set did not fit the conditions?
silly. I think that guys is a very good player with lots of upside. they have to pik him and forget about it for a while
