Vengsarkar has faith in the middle-order
Chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar feels the combined failure of the experienced Indian middle-order batting in Sri Lanka was a one-off thing and expects the batsmen to put it firmly behind them and start afresh in the upcoming four-Test series against Australia.
Vengsarkar also feels that the Indian squad would enter the high-octane rubber, which he predicts will be a very close affair, with their confidence high after their narrow loss in the previous series Down Under followed by a historic first-ever triangular series victory there.
In an exclusive interview to PTI, the former Test skipper said its important that openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir fire in unison while hailing the return of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who skipped the Tests in Sri Lanka citing exhaustion.
He also was fully supportive of the Cricket Board's decisions to have a tri-series tournament presently for the India A team, also featuring New Zealand A and Australia A, and for introducing the much-delayed concept of paid selectors from this season.
