Chopra was ignored for the third and series-deciding Test at Rawalpindi to accommodate Yuvraj Singh who had substituted for Sourav Ganguly, returning to the side after missing the first two Tests due to an injury. "I was disappointed but I never felt that I was done in. I have no regrets at all for missing the Test as the team's interest is more important than individual feelings. I am happy that we could win the series," Chopra said in New Delhi. The Rawalpindi Test saw wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel open the innings for India and impressed one and all with his career-best score of 69. Patel's success at the top of the batting order is certain to lead to a problem of plenty for the selectors when they meet to pick the team for India's next Test series -- against Australia at home in October. But Chopra was undaunted, saying "they (selectors) know my capabilities and my strengths. So I won't go beyond what the captain told the media yesterday," the 26-year-old opener said referring to Ganguly's comments in Kolkata that Patel would not open the innings henceforth. in-depth coverage > India-Pakistan Cricket Series 2004 > |
