This Team needs someone in the top 7 who can bowl 8 to 10 overs a day if needed.   

 

or atleast 2-3 batsman who can bowl 3-4 four overs that can give us 10-12 overs

Yes ... that works too.

The Test Team is in need of Batsmen.

 

 We need more batsmen who can score runs. The top order 1-3, Middle order 4-7 should be able to score runs everywhere and consistently put 300-400 or more everywhere. In this year,  we lost series in england and in SA primarily because our batsmen are INCAPABLE (with a CAPITAL I) to put runs on the board. Couldn't chase 208 in SA and 191 in England. We could have won series but instead we lost due to our batsmen.

 

The bowlers are fine. Get more batsmen. Drop name sake all rounders Pandya/Ashwin who neither take important wickets and score useful runs when touring overseas and get batsmen. They falter more than they click in overseas conditions.

How is pandya fluke Innings different than karuna nair 300.

 

Did Karun get as many chances as pandya.

 

I think pandya can fit in only on bouncy aussie tracks provided he bats well like a top 6 batsman. Else as a 5th bowler his batting is too feeble. As folks are stating vijayshankar could be a better lower order test bat .
