India’a Test Team Captain Virat Kohli recently decided to put five bowlers in the next match opposite Srilanka. Among them three would be spinners named Harbhajan Singh, Amit Mishra and Ravichandran Ashwin.
The opener Murali Vijay speaking about virat’s decision said that it is a most challenging decision made by the captain and also a good decision. In the opposite team there will be big hole in their batting line-up as their most talented Mahela is retired and Sagakkara is about to.
Speaking about his decision Kohli said that “it will be a new challenge for me and the whole team because we have such a young squad and so many new players looking to build their careers.”
Rohit Sharma seems glad to be given a stable batting position in the top. Everyone might not agree with Kohli’s approach, but it’s encouraging that he is not afraid to try things and speak his mind on how he thinks things should be.
India opener Murali Vijay believes that five bowlers in the coming test opposite Srilanka is a good challenge for the batters to back the skipper’s tactic. "It's actually not demanding," Vijay said in Colombo on Tuesday. "It is actually our role and if any one of us clicks, it's going to be good for the team and we are going to be in a much comfortable position on most times. So it is a good challenge.
