Rohit Sharma replaces Yuvraj Singh for Mumbai TestIndia made just the one change to their squad for the third and final Test at Mumbai. Yuvraj Singh is the only casuality as he failed to convert his starts into a bigger score in the three innings that he got against the West Indies. Yuvraj has been replaced with Rohit Sharma who comes into the side following a couple of hundreds for Mumbai in the ongoing Ranji Trophy Season.

Rohit Sharma might sit out in the final XI unless there is an injury problem to VVS Laxman who seemed to have strained his back during the second Test. Virat Kohli who sat out in the first two Tests could get selected ahead of Rohit Sharma in the final Test. Its the crucial spot of no.6 that India are looking to fill out ahead of the Australian tour with the likes of Yuvraj Singh, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara all giving touch competition to each other.
