In Ind conditions, by and large, all teams are competitive. It would depend upon the form of the players. Team A of course has a good spin attack so can be more lethal on day 4 and day 5. Team A can play a pacer from Ghavri, Prabhakar, Roger Binny, Chetan Sharma, Madan Lal, etc., as well if required. 

[Adamant]

Great teams,

Spin bowling attack:

Team A>Team C>Team A.

The most important player here will be the wicketkeeper ofcourse:

Kirmani~Saha>>>>Dhoni

 

All teams have great batsman (in home conditions)

Batting strength:

Team B~team A>team c

 

Fast bowling

Team C>>>Team A~team B

 

Overall I"ll say

Team A>Team C>Team B.

diff was only catching, dhoni was safe in that to against spinner

In stumping dhoni was best coz of his unorthodox technique

when it comes to batting he adds to his team then 2 

 

so in total he is takes the lead

Myth

pujara , kohli avg better then dravid sachin at home

 

 

I was talking about pure wicketkeeping skills and I am sure that dhoni was way inferior to Saha.Ms dhoni has dropped the most number of catches by a wicketkeeper ever and if you followed him in the home season 12-15 you"ll never rate him as a great wktkeeper.

He was awful in catching snicks ,his performance in series against Australia and England in 2012-13 was downright atrocious.

 

Secondly you can easily replace kirmani by engineer ,there won't be a drastic drop in wicketkeeping quality and you will get a batsman as good as dhoni .

 

 

Rohit's performance has been great in India but he hasn't faced a real challenge against spin in india.I will wait for his performance against Nathan Lyon before branding him as a good batsman against spin

Batting line-up B vs C

Sehwag>>Rohit(Sehwag is by far the GOAT in indian conditions)Sorry,no competition.

Bashing Murali,Warne,Mendis,macgill >bashing muthusamy,maharaj,badree etc

 

Mayank >Vijay

Pujara>Dravid

Kohli=Tendulkar

Kl<<Laxman

Ganguly>>>>>Saha

Dhoni>>Jadeja

The comparison is not at all one sided but still team B wins.

I agree. Not only in Ind but subcon. He has had some spectacular performances: 

 

a) Vs SA, his 300 made Ind compete

b) Vs SA, this is from memory, Ind lost the first test at Nagpur (or something), then Sehwag softened SA bowlers at Kol 

c) vs Pak, B’lore - after he got out, the team folded in the last inning. Could not even survive 2 sessions 

e) set up the chase vs Eng, enabling Ind to win

f) so on

These were some good attacks!
