In the Times of India, Bobilli Vijay Kumar writes that the flexibility within India's batting line-up is a major reason for their success.
India open in T20s and Tests with Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir; in the in-between, however, there is a minor change with the arrival of Sachin Tendulkar. Gambhir usually bats at No. 3 in such a scenario; but he drops down like a potato if the team gets off to a bumper start, as it happened in the first ODI at Napier. Captain Dhoni himself came in at that position in that intriguing game; he has, however, batted at No. 5 and 6 in other games too.
