We need 6 batsmen who can form the core that can perform brilliantly as a unit in any of SENA. Then only we can even start dreaming of winning series in any of SENA.As of now I see only 2 ( Kohli & Rahane) out of 6 eligible for these slots. Other 4 are still far from adequate.If we play a 6-1-4 in India, then we can play several combo of 6 batsmen to test their mettle which is the first step towards that process of winning in SENA. But playin 5-1-5 combo we are wasting that 1 slot just as we did in the 2nd test vs WI. Thakur proved virtually of no need . Hope I made it clear. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Well I think 5 bowlers is the way to go, it's gives options to the captain, however a spot should not be wasted on players like Pandya UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Averaged 55+ in FC cricket before test debut. Averaged 62 in Unofficial test matches in England for our A-team. Only Shaw did marginally better while the " more acceptable " specialist batters like Vihari and all others failed and Nair lagged behind too. Has a test century in his debut series in England. We are playing a 6 + 2 (AR) + 3 combo now. Mosher, Sgattick10 and UrmiSinhaRay 2 1 Link to comment

India,Pakistan and Srilanka are yet to win series in AUS & SAF.That makes them a lot better over all than what each of the Asian sides are. nevada and UrmiSinhaRay 2 Link to comment

Then 3 specialist bowlers(Kuldeep in the mix too) as per the conditions. That would be most apt. Would provide the worth of 7 batsmen(2 all rounders combined gives 1 batsman) & 5 bowlers. That would be great. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

One thing that worries me about him is that in Australia he has to show great restraint as he cannot attack each and every delivery for a four or a six hope he plays according to the situation.

Australia these days is one of the few places where attacking a higher percentage of deliveries actually works. The pitches are usually very true to help that happen. The challenge would ofcourse be the steeper bounce. However, Pant has shown restrain to some extent in England. Did not go hammer and tongs. So, he should be able to do it again.
