Dhoni plays down Sehwag8217;s partial deafness

He has practised every day and there is no good reason why he shouldn8217;t play. He is a dynamic player who backs his instinct to play shots. We all know that an aggressive opener can have a big impact on the opposition bowling attack, added Dhoni.

The return of Sehwag rouses India8217;s belief that this time they may possess a powerful retort.

Virat Kohli might also win selection ahead of Suresh Raina as India restructure a batting line-up that has failed in the first two Tests.

Meanwhile,there is still no sign of left-arm fast bowling replacement RP Singh.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India BCCI has yet to arrange visas for its stand-by players,which means that Munaf Patel could get a look-in as the fourth seamer,in preference to the leg-spin of Amit Mishra.

The wickets have not affected the spinners in any way which pushes to think whether we can play with four fast bowlers or not, said Dhoni.
