Stength of Indian cricket that new sides are lifting the ranji trophy?

also 'professional' players playing for other teams like Jaffer and Satish helps as well ..same was the case for Rajasthan a few years back but the core is still local.

and i am talking about all of them, not just Australia.  my initial argument was that pitches all over the world have become more spin friendly in last 5 years or so starting with England.  SA is still a bit of exception in test cricket.  but last ODI series, we played there, pitches were helping spinner.  Take an example, Ashwin in 2014 NZ tour in 4 ODIs could not buy a wicket and ended up at an average of 219.  Jadeja struggled as well.  NZ spinners also did not do anything great. This time, spinners from both sides well.  Even NZ is encouraging pitches that would help spin, so that their batsman could learn to play spin starting from domestic cricket.

Pitches have become a tad flatter, not spind friendly. However, for a long time, Indian spinners were spoilt at home with absolute turners. The spinners of today, when it comes to playing abroad, are better than the spinners of the past.A point can be made that Chahal and Yadav would take wickets even in 90's, playing anywhere.

Also, one cant discount the fact that atleast from 2009-2010 onwards, INdian fast bowling has become pacier and more penetrative. The opposition no longer prefers to prepare a green bouncy wicket for Indians for the fear of bundling down to Indian fast bowlers.
