Warne sucked in Australia vs us even more than he did in India. Kumble had a couple of great performances in Australia too so I reckon he wins easily.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy came into being in 1996. So, no players from before that series.
Hayden
Sehwag
Smith
Tendulkar
Clarke
Laxman
Gilchrist
Gillespie
Kumble
McGrath
Bumrah
Gillespie has an excellent record in India, so gets the nod over Cummins. Bumrah vs Cummins is a judgment call. Harbhajan clearly the leading spinner of this rivalry, but he sucked so hard in Australia that Kumble gets the nod.
Clarke was amazing. The batting pretty much writes itself down.

Lyons not a bad call but laxman is probably one of the first guys selected here

Pujara has had two back to back series where he's played the most vital knocks to pull India out of trouble. Won a historic series in Australia with his efforts.
Dhoni > Gilchrist sounds controversial but was surprised to see gilchrist averaged only 27 vs India despite a couple of excellent innings.
Bumrah is the other questionable one because it was only one series but I can't think of an amazing alternative.

Lyon was diabolical in his first tour though, figures only saved by the cbf last test batting by India iirc.

O'Keefe, obviously, for that one hilarious dismissal of Kohli

Whatever it takes!!!
Laxman and Martyn at 5 and 6 will make it one of the prettiest to watch batting sides ever.

Clarke gets in for his 6/9 imo

The One True AB plays for SA. Unless you meant The One Trick AB.
Lyon over Warne is a definite progression from extreme mediocrity to borderline mediocrity in this context, but he isn't a great shout when you have Sir RJ to pick.

A couple of astonishing hundreds notwithstanding, Gilchrist has a meh record against India. Dhoni's record against Australia isn't super impressive either. I am going with Pant.
Jadeja gives me the solidity at no.8 along with the awesomeness of a 19 average with the ball against Aus. His legacy will be written in stone once he is done.
