It is hard to find all rounders. Odds of finding a spin/batting combo is higher than pace/batting. In last 50 years India had only one genuine aall rounder so why waste time on something that is just not there.

mankad was a genuine allrounder, although he was 60 yrs ago and not 50.

I heard of him but never saw him. Only genuine all rounder I saw was Kapil. If in 50 years one comes along the yield is low.

Message should go to the grassroots level. Culture has to be created. Well built athletic bowlers should be groomed to become all-rounders with hitting ability. Otherwise we will get Sanjay Bangar, Rishi Dhawan type floaters.

I saw him live. He was as impressive as they get. His build was that of a fast bowler. That is why I am not sold on Pandya as I think he will breakdown sooner rather than later.

I know I get ridiculed for this but looking for allrounder and if one comes along every fifty years is very low yield.

genuine allrounders are extremely rare for most countries. In Tests, Pak has also had only one (since Razzaq, Hafeez, etc don't count). Oz has just had one since WW-II (Miller), WI had one (Sobers). Eng had just two (Greig and Botham).

Mostly LOIs that have sparked this allrounder fetish. Genuine test match allrounders are a rarity.

Jalaj Saxena looks a better option than Jayat Yadav....if he carries on like this he'll be in India A

pretty soon.

[SecondSlip]

Krunal should be tried in our LOI teams

That's for his domestic team if he comes in India A or India setup that'll be in middle to lower order and he has to deliver with the ball.

saxena is on the older side, but he seems to me (over the past 2-3 seasons alone; not earlier) that he's one of the few domestic allrounders in India who bats in the top 6 and functions as a front-line bowler (rasool was another, but he's fading away)

Darshan Nalkande ( pacer -allrounder )   in the 50-over Vijay Mankad Trophy

Greig does not count, more of a taller Ganguly class of bowler. His pace also would be the same as Gangs.

When Jagdale was selector he tried fast tracking Saxena who was then playing for MP. Definitely not international class.

Washington Sundar as limited over all rounder.

Anukul Roy, left-arm spinner / all-rounder , has done well in Vinoo Mankad Trophy with both bat and ball.

He already played for India A on a quota selection but I guess his bowling has improved now.He was always a decent bat.
