The second Test match between India and South Africa is going to start in a few hours and the make up of the Indian squad is still in doubt. After the run-fest, at least for the South Africans and one Indian - Sehwag, that was the first Test, the focus shifts to Ahmedabad.
Sachin Tendulkar is not in the team and here is a chance to go for glory. I will be happy if India goes in with 5 batsman and 5 bowlers. I would like to see Irfan Pathan included in Tendulkar's spot. However, I fear that the half-fit Yuvraj Singh will be given another lifeline and we will miss out on a chance to win a Test match.
If a batting line-up that reads Sehwag, Jaffer, Dravid, Ganguly, Laxman, and Dhoni cannot get the job done, what will Yuvraj be able to do? I'd rather roll the dice with Pathan and see where it takes us.
By the way, if Yuvraj Singh is honestly fully fit, I shall willingly eat my laptop. Without ketchup.
