To be fair India has no all rounders unless we are talking about guys like Stuart binny, Deepak Hooda. India is full of one-dimensional cricketers. Those who can bowl can't bat. Those who can bat can't bowl. Someone like Rana has a role on flat tracks and small grounds. 

Then we shouldn't have selected three similar players. Someone like Pant and Saini could have easily made into the team.

WI batting lineup looks so much better than Indian lineup.They batting all the way down to no9.With Andre Russell looming in middle to boost the score.Their bowling is not bad at all.

Jadhav is not an all rounder. Jaddu is spin back up not an all rounder in the traditional term. Shankar is the only one all rounder going by his recent record in one dayers.

That is biggest crime. Jadeja, Shankar,Jadhav and Karthik are all bits and pieces player who bring no quality or xfactor to the team.That is 4 spots which are being wasted.

[vvvslaxman]

Thala maintaining strike rate of 100 plus in the middle overs. Miraculous !!

[Austin 3:!6]

Seems it gets easier to bat in the afternoon.

But you need a player who can be used as a 6th bowler. Even with so many all rounders like Maxwell, Stoinis , Aussies are trying out Smith as an option. Same way Root is trying to bowl. They are looking for 7th bowling option. But we need 6th if possible 7th bowling given how our spinners can be targeted.

291 for 6 in 39 overs !! wow.. They should get to 400 easily with Russell. But they could implode here as well.

yes you need just among these four, rest of three spots should been given to one pacer , one batsmen  and Pant.

All said and done you have to admit we need Dhoni  with a weak tail.
