If you could add one retired Indian player to the current Indian ODI XI to make it a better side who would it be ???

[Moochad]

Kapil would add so much balance to the side

I would go with Kapil in place of Iyer (why not bat Kapil at 4?) ... But I could also have someone like Pant in from current players 

Good one

[nevada]

Sachin. 

[RajBan]

Yuvraj and it's not  even a question. It could have been Kapil had it been Ganguly's or Dhoni's India who lacked a proper bowling allrounder but had tremendous batting. However Kohli's India has pretty decent bowlers or bowling all rounders like Jadeja, Hardik can do a bit of both but what they don't have is a proper batsman in middle who can win the came single handedly, murder any bowling unit on his day and especially in the death , a brilliant fielder and a handy bowler to provide cover to the main bowlers.

Kapil dev provides you sixth bowling option plus a gun batsman and change match with his hitting replace him with iyer or Rahul and you have an insane line-up

Rohit

Dhawan

Kohli

Iyer/sky/Rahul

Pant

Kapil

Pandya

Jaddu

Shami

Bumrah

Chahal

Kapil Dev. I mean singlehandedly he can replace any of these players: Rahul, Sky,Iyer,Bhuvi,Thakur,Pandya or even Pant/Kishen if there is another keeper in the X1.
 

That’s the kind of X factor player he was. 
 

Sachin comes in the closest in terms of such an impact- batsmen and X factor bowler.

 

Rest of them, thanks for their service but not missed much. May be Kumble over Chahal

 

how the * he cane replace Rahul or pant 

at the end he avg 23  in odi which is not good

My choice wud be without any doubt- Yuvraj singh 

 Agree: Agressive middle order bat and 6th bowling option, two things we are desperate for. 

[Rasgulla]

Anyone but Sachin paji because he is our Ex parliament memeber dedicated his life to the nation and shall always remain in our hearts.

and he was the best no.4 we had....

[SK_IH]

Agree with everyone about Yuvi. 

[Old guy]

dont really need top order or bowlers.

 

yuvi at his best would add so much to this side.
