My dear friend even if Yuvaraj and Dhoni is suddenly rush back to Sri lanka, no difference will come and where is the place for Yuvaraj in the test side. Dhoni opted for rest and selectors accepted his request. Beating Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka is very tough task for many teams except South Africa and Australia teams were able to beat them in their own backyard. I feel India will not win the series but will draw the series..

yes why not!! as we all know that in srilanka the pitches will be spinner & slow bowler friendly!! sachin, saurav, dravid, laxman, sehwag, gambhir all are capable to handle these kind of deliveries. dhoni & yuvi r not good players of these kind of bowlers!!

Why not? You have Tendulkar, Dravid and Ganguly. Test cricket is a different ball game altogether, though they may still miss Dhoni. Yuvraj will not be missed, as he is not a force to reckon with in test cricket. Yuvraj is not scoring even in ODIs these days. He appears to be effective only in 20-20 games. His type of swinging suits 20-20 format.

sure india will win the srilangan tour

Why not ? Our senior members are back in the team.We will miss Dhoni during the Test series but i think that he will be back for the One day tournament.Yuvraj was never a regular member of Indian test team.He use to play only when someone got injured or when someone was out of form.So i dont think so that he will be miss at all in the tEst series.Our fearsome four will come back in the Test series after a long rest so they are very fresh because of the break that they got after IPL.Let see what happens in the Test and than we will think about ODIs.

OFCOURCE indian team will perform well without DHONI and YUVRAJ in upcoming srilankan tour. Return of masters of test like SACHIN and LAXMAN is important to beat srilanka on their soil. Also yuvraj is not regular player in test side so his absense will not hampered much while kartik can perform well in absense of DHONI like ENGLAND tour. HOPE FOR BEST.

I think if India is able to overcome the reasons that led to its defeat in recent matches. Then I think it can surely win the upcoming series against Sri-Lanka.

As, the performance of Dhini, and Yuvi in the Australia series was also below the par. And, still team was able to display stupendous performance. And, the remaining seniors can very easily overcome the void created by the absence of these two.

Well Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh are not touring the Sri lankan tour, so now the question really is who will be the captain in the ODI's ? But Ragavan I don't think it will be a problem for Kumble in test as Dhoni and Yuvraj have not been in form in Test its the ODI's which will be affected with they both out of the team as resting.
