I have to bring on the point of Dravid opening and Laxman batting at 3.

I am happy with the development. It still has to be seen whether Dravid decides to come back to number 3 or maintains this spot in more helpful conditions/abroad. If he puts his mind to it, he can do the job I am convinced.

It is no secret that Laxman loves batting at number 3.

A common arguement can be - opening is not an easy job. Another can be - what message does it send other openers in the country. Another can be why unsettle the important role Dravid plays at 3.

I see the much bigger problem in India’s opening worries in the past 10-15 years abroad and if it can be solved, it would be a big achievement.

Should be interesting to see how it goes.
