Gilly obviously did well in major finals.But Dhoni was the more all round option.Plus the other factor is allowing Gilly to open, would hamper Sanath's or any other aggressive opener's chance. Plus Sanath can play his role with the ball as well. Very valuable.
MSD fits in the XI regardless.So felt needless to have two keepers in the first XI,as it hampers the bowling somewhat.
