Would you trade Kohli for Starc?

The fact that they are yet to prove themselves make this a more interesting question, IMO. Kohli is by far our best young batsman (maybe barring Pujara). He's probably our next long term captain too. But traditionally, India are a batting power house - if not Kohli, some other Bholi should be there to do the job. However, we don't have any bowlers to really speak of whatsoever, that too fast bowlers. Similarly, Australia is a factory for 140kmph+ fast bowlers. But off late they have struggled imo to find order in their batting line up. They would benefit from the trade, Starc will be replaced by some person or the other. India lose more than they gain in this trade. But I think thats OK. For Australia, Starc will be lucky to play 50 tests. In India, any bowler close to his quality is guaranteed at least a 10 year spell in international cricket imo
