Rahul Dravid dropped for ODI's against Australia

Indian’s former captain Rahul Dravid has been dropped for the home series against Australia despite of some good performances with the bat in the Champions trophy.
Rahul Dravid played some sheet anchor roles in the recent Champions Trophy but he has been dropped for the first two matches against Australians.

Dravid should not have been dropped and according to me his presence in the team he is a boost especially with the amount of experience that Dravid carries behind him. Virat Kohli has been preferred instead of him. Sudeep Tyagi of Tamil Nadu gets a chance to play for the National side. Ishant Sharma has retained his place despite so many failures. Yusuf Pathan has been dropped from the squad due to his failure in the Champions Trophy.
