I believe very strongly that this India side has the capability to bounce back and win two matches on the trot.

India will have to do away with the practice of utilising part-time spinners as the fifth bowler. They would rather do well by playing Jadeja, as he is a regular spinner and is good with the bat too.

True, he has a young fast-bowling unit and his spinners are not helping his cause, but Dhoni has to think of making them do something different and make it difficult for Pakistan.
