India should play Sehwag, drop Yuvraj

Dravid is not the right choice when it comes to opening the innings. Dravid has been under tremendous pressure ever since he decided to step down from captaincy. It is really not wise to ask him open the innings down under, when his place in the team is not secure. Despite the concerns on his form and techniques, Sehwag is the right choice for Team India to open the innings.

It can be expected that Sehwag and Jaffer can form a formidable opening pair against the Australian pace attack. If anyone is to be dropped from the squad, it should be Yuvraj Singh. Although Yuvraj is a great player with tremendous potential, the present set up in the team requires him to sit out. He has to make way for a regular opener.
