Imagine the potency of our lineup as soon as we can replace Kohli with a Sundar/KL.

 

You wont worry about two or three batsmen failing as there is so many match winners batting.

 

Do you know from Ranji who we can replace Kohli with aside from Sundar/KL?

Sarfraz khan already playing A team

Eeshwaran potential opener. Good stats. 

Samad averages 42xnow

Mayank with current technique can't open overseas and Shreyas has lots of question marks in terms of being all conditions bat.

 

mayank did make some good adjustments in SA, i hve always had my doubts on him but i liked the tweaks he made to his game

India should play Bumrah and Shami one test each. Can't keep them away from match time for so long given that there is no major away series coming.

he still failed except one innings. Will be much better as middle order player. We already have Gill who can atleast play bounce

No one is an obvious candidate.

 

Hope Dhull will fill this role after a couple of years or so.

If Vihari has to be played it has to be at #3 where he can be defensive and build his innings around other batsmen. He is not fit for playing at #5 as a wicket fall here and there will make him bat around tailenders and he is not suited for that..

Now in my view Gill is ahead of Vihari in many aspects, and he can be floater..If Vihari plays at 3, Gill can play at 5. If gill plays at 3, shreyas can play at 5.

Sundar is not even in the Squad. How can he play the test ??

I wasn't sure if the post was about so-called ideal XIs or about choosing from the 15 that selectors have chosen. I went with the former - it seems as though the latter was needed.

Specially in India, I want to see sonething like this in the near future-

 

Shaw

KL Rahul

GILL

Shreyas Iyer

Mayank 

Pant

W Sundar

Axar Patel

Siraj

Prasidh / Faster bowler

Bumrah

 

Backups - Thakur, Vihari, Kuldeep

 

Rohit retired due to weight and tiredness.

Virat retired due to lack of runs and interest.

Shami retired due to texting duties.

Ashwin will retire in few years anyway cause 37 plus.

Jadeja retired annoyed that too many people question his place.

It will be minimum 2 years (if not more) before all the below people retire/dropped.

 

Assuming 2 years by that time, Mayank is 33, KL Rahul is 31, Bumrah, Siraj and Axar are 30, Shreyas is 29.

Not that young team but could work for one full cycle home and overseas.
