im tempted to suggest mayank at 5 but his runs will get him overseas which will be a problem

 

we need to have youngsters who can handle swing or who did well on A tours

Most importantly make @Jay mental conditioning coach. Enough of this nice guys nonsense, no peace between us Tigers (or Elephants?) and them flightless Kiwi birds. 

lmao. you should read an interview by warner. he mentions how he has to try and pick a fight with an opposition player to motivate himself to perform. He performs at his best when he is challenged. He tries his best to rile himself up in order to be mentally tough and ready for battle. 

 

kohli used to do such things vs australia in the past. that kohli is dead post anuskha. inbeforenewguyhashisperiod.

I think the best XI we can afford considering all the factors like resting / giving a breather to our fast bowlers and also to our batsman for the overseas tour of SA, my XI will be :-

 

1. Shaw

2. KL(c)

3. Pujara

4. Gill

5. Vihari/Mayank

6. Sundar

7. Pant

8. Ashwin

9. Axar

10. Umesh

11. Siraj

 

Kohli, Rohit, Bumrah and Shami should be rested. Pujara has two months to rest now, so he can't be given rest.

Don't think I need to say this but we do not need Pujara at home.  He weakens the team. That said we should take him to South Africa.. 

 

Rohit

Rahul

Sundar

Kohli

Gill

Pant

Jadeja

Ashwin

Axar/Siraj

Umesh

Shami

 

 

It'd be a huge blunder if the TM continues to overlook Sundar's batting potential and plays him at 7. He must bat in the top4 for at least two series and if he fails, then fair enough.. 

 

Would prefer Gill at 4 and Kohli dropping down to 5 but that's as likely to happen as  snowfall in Chennai.

Having lost the last 3 test matches against New Zealand I would prefer a full strength side.

 

In addition, out of form batsmen will like to play in familiar conditions to get some sort of form . Otherwise, it would be a bit unfair if your only playing overseas in difficult bowling conditions. It also depends on the pitches, they might be rank turners.

Every time Indian players want to be chummy with Kiwis, coach @Jay steps in reminding them of NZ 2020 and previous ICC KO losses

SDP (Hardik) - if he can bowl a few overs . Avgs 60+ in the subcon with a 100 in SL. 

Axar/Jadeja

Ashwin

Rested Bumrah, Shami, etc.

Kiwis is one team I personally hate. This should be a career ending series for some of those blokes. Someone needs to bleed from kiwi land. Kane needs to be bullied.

team India need to try new middle order batsman in place of Pujara and Rahane . Also needed new Backup wicketkeeper may k bharat but not saha is very old. new fast bowler in place of Ishant sharma and give young spinner may be rahul chahar/any other off spinner a chance in india test team.

Don't underestimate NZ's batting. We saw what England, a much inferior lineup, did to us batting first on a flat pitch. 

 

Also, NZ have been our nemesis since 2016. We must make a statement while we have the home advantage. 

 

Anything less than 3-0 will be a defeat for us. Must play at near full strength. Just rotate Bumrah-Shami.
