Indian selectors have picked Rahane as well as Rayudu in the test team bound for South Africa but I would be surprised if either of them get a game, unless there is an injury. Dhoni would go with his favorite 7+4 combination. In the batting department, openers would definitely be Dhawan and Vijay. They would be followed by Pujara, Kohli, Sharma and Dhoni. Dhoni will certainly play Jadeja and in the absence of any all-rounder in the side, that selection is pretty understandable. The bowlers would be Aswin and then three seamers. I would personally like to see Khan, Kumar and Shami. I find Ishant and Umesh Yadav pretty one dimensional. So, that leaves no position for Rahane or Rayudu. Both are great talents but are unable to find a place in the side. Though that is a good problem to have for Indian team and Indian cricket, it is unfortunate for the two youngsters.
