Who is India's next best all-rounder and would they make an Indian all-time text XI?
Oops sorry that was an error but on second thought will add him to the topicSo Ashwin is the joke option?
Mankad is quite underrated, is he not?I like Mankad a lot but think it has to be Jadeja realistically.
Yeah he is. Good record in a weak side. Invented the “mankad” too.Mankad is quite underrated, is he not?
No need for this.Jadeja > Ashwin >= Mankad as ARs, and I'd easily take Jadeja & Ashwin in the ATG Indian XI now. Very strange questions to ask tbh, would've thought the answer was pretty obvious even for the most obtuse.
No need of you tbf.No need for this.
Two double hundreds. Two 10fers. I think he is the only one to do this in history of test cricketMankad is quite underrated, is he not?
Relax man. Trundy is a very good one.No need of you tbf.
Yeah, I think Mankad is actually a bit better than the numbers are showing as a batsman.Look at the 4 main aspects of cricket:
Batting
Mankad, Jadeja, Ashwin
Bowling
Ashwin, Jadeja, Mankad,
Fielding
Jadeja, Mankad, Ashwin (too intelligent to waste energy fielding)
Mankading
Mankad, Ashwin (he's good at that), Jadeja
So overall has to be Mankad.
At this point, I am wondering if the all-round package of Jadeja is better in overall value to the side than Ashwin.Mankad is India's next best allrounder but wouldn't make India's best ever XI as he was an opener and you'd pick Gavaskar and Sehwag every time.
Now I'd presume India would play 5 bowlers with keeper at 6 and Kapil at 7. You'd obviously pick Ashwin as a no 8 and quality bowler, although Jadeja is a better allrounder than Ashwin.
