Indian strike paceman Zaheer Khan is ruled out of first test match as he couldn't recover from a hamstring injury. Zaheer has been the most successful and promising bowler for India since three years; his exclusion from the squad will definitely lower the team's morale.
Jaidev Unadkat will make his début for India and will share the red cherry along with Sreesanth and Ishanth. Now its all on the hands of Sreesanth and Sharma to carry on the pace attack effectively. Although, there are no doubts on skills of Sree and Sharma, their consistency and accuracy cant be compared with Zaheer's. Zaheer is a lot more promising bowler, so his absence will have an impact for sure. We have to see how the above duo minimises the impact.
Good luck to rookie Jaidev.. I sincerely hope that he wont be a one more Abhimanya Mithun who bowled on a pacemen graveyard pitch in place of injured Sreesanth few months ago and never made it into the squad again.
