Who should india play as their all rounder?

[Vijy]

I think we are looking at some who can bat and bowl seam.

If we are looking at batting all-rounders who bowl seam, then the cupboard is pretty bare. The likes of Rishi Dhawan, Bhuvi, etc are all bowling all-rounders.

Hype around Rishi Dhawan reminds me of Reetinder Sodhi. :winky:

[Pagalpanti]

Irfan Pathan got a 5-fer in his last outing for India. I remember he got injured post that, is he still injured or just not considered anymore?

Sodhi was a batting all-rounder, and better suited for ODIs. Speaking of hype, there was a LOT around LR Shukla too - next Kapil, etc, etc.

[Sidhoni]

Injured.

Since when?

[SLICKR392]

Bhuvi can score runs but should be more keen on focusing on his bowling. Ashwin's a better choice

[rkt.india]

Since when?

Since eternity.

[rkt.india]

Pathan played as a batsman last season for Baroda in last few riunds, was not bowling fit. Hasn't played this season at all.

[Sidhoni]

Since eternity.

:hysterical: That's what I thought too.

[Lord]

Ashwin obv. Its stupid to not tap his batting potential.Shastri should make him a Shastri

[trundler]

We should try Rishi Dhawan in one or two series as allrounder.....he seems to have a knack of picking wickets.:winky:

He is injured. Its not like he is getting millions in IPL. He could get more thab that if he was fit and playing for India since then.

Looks like Irfan was looking to play this round of Ranji Trophy but wasnt picked by Baroda selectors. So, he asked for NOC to switch states and as a result was included as 16th man. http://m.timesofindia.com/city/vadodara/Irfan-mulled-quitting-Baroda-team-if-not-picked-up-for-Ranji/articleshow/45757937.cms

Pathan is playing today for Baroda after one year.

[mancalledsting]

Today rishi Dhawan got another five for- 2 in successive matches and that too on indian wickets http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-domestic-2014-15/engine/match/775761.html http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/775741.html

Good find- shows he would probably still be committed to test cricket

He plays on some of the most seam friendly tracks. Also, pitches help seamers a lot in North India in winters.

[Lord]

He plays on some of the most seam friendly tracks. Also' date=' pitches help seamers a lot in North India in winters.[/quote'] In that case,batting average of 39 on some of most seam friendly tracks is impressive.Surely deserves to play ODIs atleast
