Rohit and Kohli would have scarcely batted in the series opener at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown too, had it not been for the breakdown in that frame of mind of 115. Both the veterans of the game had cleared a path for the more youthful hitters to get game time and stuff themselves up as World Cup tryout approaches it end. However, progressive wickets saw, Rohit stroll in at No.7 and guaranteed that Kohli, at No.8, wasn't needed.

Furthermore, we are trusting that some of them will be for the Asia Cup and the World Cup however we can't take those risks. We need to evaluate others and give them risks so that in most dire outcome imaginable they essentially have game time behind them.

It likewise offers us the chance to settle on certain choices on players.Genuinely in a series like this with 2-3 matches to go before the Asia Cup, playing Kohli and Rohit would have not offered us any reactions. Yet, with the wounds we have in the NCA and some vulnerability around them we simply needed to allow others an opportunity," Dravid said.

With the series on the line, it is yet to be seen whether India would go on with their examinations in the third and last ODI match, scheduled to be played on August 1.
