Parth Goyal: "More than anyone, it will be a very decisive match for DK. He hasnt performed well after those 2 centuries he hit in the Champions trophy warm up matches. If he fails to deliver today, i guess Pujara or Rahane would be given a chance in the next match.."

Raghav Bhasin: "Its an important series for DK also...not been among the runs lately apart from the warm up games of champions trophy...young U19 captain Zol is scoring heaps of runs...can be given a run when dhoni is not playing"

Suresh Kumar: "Indian management looking for hitters than the batsman steadying the innings..... Rayudu Promotion in the batting order ahead of DK shows taat.... Means this series is the last chance for DK to make any impression and keep his place in the team..."
