India cannot lose this series and will use that position of advantage to try out new combinations. Yet though they are 2-0 up, they haven't fully convinced and today's changes may help them answer a few questions. What do you think are the signs that India should be looking for in this match?

I think Indian team is gonna try out Suresh Raina more than anybody else! Of course not to forget Gautam Gambhir and Robin...unfortunately India should have been playing in Cuttack like pitches rather than on belters for their preperation

India definitely need to try out certain players in the next two matches.I would have though liked to see Pathan play instead of a spinner, coz it looks like a pitch which wont give too much assistance to the spinners.If the dew factor comes into play we will be on the backfoot with 2 spinners. Pathan with his big hitting power could have been handy.

I dnt get why Ganguly was given a break ? He is just back in the Indian team, has played only one good innings and has played least amount of international cricket in the recent past. Also, he is batsman and I dnt get see how him wanting a break at this time.. I would have really liked to see Ganguly and Sachin opening being tried out again for like 4-5 times before world cup .. that is the best we got..

This is robins 4th chance unlike Ghambhir and Suresh. Hope He will be opening with Ganguly and no more chance to Shewag.

I think that india should try out some other combination of players in the next match if they win this one. Also i think that they should go for a mixed side with spinners, fast pacers and right/left arm medium. Same goes for the batsmen. They are only going for spinners or hard hitters which is sometimes very bad.
