Team India is likely to test out youngster Robin Uthappa at the top in the Guwahati One Dayer. With India winning the series already with a 4-0 lead, skipper Rahul Dravid has been rested. An automatic replacement for Dravid in the XI would be Y.Venugopal Rao but there are equal chances of the Karnataka opening batsman Robin Uthappa making the XI. Mohammad Kaif might get the axe following his dismal performances with the bat. Vikram Rajvir Singh who was the original change for Rahul Dravid may not be playing as the management might be looking to get back Rudra Pratap Singh and Munaf Patel in the line up. As far as Robin Uthappa goes, he is a 20 year old who had come into prominence during the U 19 Asia Cup and then the U19 World Cup in Bangladesh 2004. Robin then eventually made his Ranji Trophy Debut and soon cemented his place in the Karnataka Ranji Side. With a couple of rocking hundreds, he got into the India B squad in this season’s Challenger Trophy where he caught the eyes of many with a scintillating knock of 116 in 93 balls.
