Given that you already have two likely allrounders in Kapil and Ashwin, does Jadeja make it? And if so, what is you ATG XI?

Does Jadeja make your India ATG XI?

Jadeja makes every ATG XI, Indian or otherwise.
Indian one is probably:
Gavaskar
Sehwag
Dravid
Sachin
Kohli
Pant+
Jadeja
Kapil
Ashwin
Bumrah
Shami (maybe?)

So no Kumble?

Ashwin isnt an all rounder. He takes Kumble’s spot. Kapil is also a different type of all rounder to Jadeja.
And as of yet we don’t have quite the 4th pacer option (Ishant? Srinath? Zaheer?) really worthy of being in the ATG team, so Jadeja makes it easily.
If we get a 4th seamer of the quality of Bumrah, then it’s a shoot out between Kapil and Jadeja for that spot, or Jadeja and Ashwin for the other spot, both of which Jadeja likely loses.

So who are your bowlers as it stands?

Definitely to Jadeja as a bowler. Otherwise bringing its too much pressure on the pacers outside of SC.

Same as Red Ink’s. Kapil with bowling support like that should theoretically be better too with less workload/burden.

Wouldn’t have Pant in there yet personally.
In Asia - Jadeja, Kapil, Ashwin, Kumble, Bumrah
Outside Asia - Jadeja, Kapil, Ashwin/Zak, Shami, Bumrah
This will be my bowling attack based on the conditions.
Bumrah, Jadeja and Kapil makes it to the XI in most cases.
Ashwin is the first name in Asian conditions and Kumble is also a must in Asian conditions. That complete your 5.
Outside Asia, third pacer is a must so Shami joins Bumrah, Kapil and Jadeja. Now, second spinner is a toss up between Ashwin and Kumble but Ashwin is probably a better batter, which gives him a slight advantage. In conditions where there is nothing for spinners, you simply go with left arm pace option of Zaheer Khan, thus allowing India to play pace quartet.

If you had to pick on lineup for all conditions?

Sehwag
Gavaskar
Dravid
Tendulkar
Kohli
Pant
Kapil
Ashwin
Kumble
Bumrah
Zaheer
India already have sufficient lower order batting strength to justify not having Jadeja and picking Kumble, a notably better bowler

Top five pick themselves, as do Bumrah and Kapil Dev. So it’s really a battle for four spots. It’s hard to pick a side for home AND away given that for most of Indian history, they really struggled winning away due to a lack of pace bowling options.
I think my “SENA” side would be:
Gavaskar
Sehwag
Dravid
Tendulkar
Kohli
Pant
Jadeja
Dev
Kumble
Zaheer
Bumrah
Home might be:
Gavaskar
Sehwag
Dravid
Tendulkar
Kohli
Dhoni
Dev
Ashwin
Kumble
Bumrah
Bedi
Would be difficult to pick a combined side.

Whatever it takes!!!
I actually will pick the exact same side, but replace Bumrah/Zaheer (rotate) for Jaddu where 3 spinners are warranted.

If in SC, then yes.

3 spinners are never* warranted
*having said that in this very specific case, given Ashwin & Jadeja's batting, picking both + Kumble is reasonable
