Well he had the opening partnership record with Roy (413) for a long time until McKenzie and Smith broke it.

Whatever it takes!!!
If you wanna play an allrounder at 8 for an AT side, I would stop whatever you are smoking immediately.

Yeah true, Kapil in a way already locks the AR slot.

Don't think he will hold it for long though. By end of the career, Jadeja will be India's greatest test AR. His batting hasn't fully bloomed yet. He is a 40- 45 potential batsman in addition to being a sub 25 bowler.

Yeah but will he replace Ashwin or will India have three spinners in their all-time XI?

Kumble is likely to miss out.

He absolutely is.
Mankad as an opener - 1548 runs @40.73
Mankad everywhere else - 561 runs@19.34

It has almost become a case of
Hardik + Ash
(or)
Jadeja + Shardul
when we play overseas. Who knew Hardik not being fit would impact Ashwin's career, lol.

One thing I would like Jadeja to improve is his batting with the tail. Sometimes, you have to go bonkers when the batsmen around you can't hang on for too long. He hasn't done it consistenly enough so far imo.

He tries the Laxman method which was the Steve Waugh and Chanderpaul method too.

Don't you play all rounders from #4 to #10 though?

And opening (Watto and the Kat).Don't you play all rounders from #4 to #10 though?

I never call them allrounders.Don't you play all rounders from #4 to #10 though?
Just that I lean towards bowlers who can bat and batters who can bowl when making close calls.

7 guys pick themselves in the India atg team for me. 4 places have good alternatives and hence, tough to choose.

The choice should be Ashwin or Jadeja not Ashwin or Kumble. Kumble is India's best all conditions spinner and hence a lock.

I'm giving Kumble the nod here for his pre-DRS work and coldly assessing the keeper slot, Dhoni was obv a gun for India but away from captaincy and his insane stumping I think Pant has done more for India already in terms of raw results. It's not like Pant has a lower floor than Dhoni either. When Pant looks like a goober it's funnier but Dhoni was far more likely to scratch around awkwardly for 30 balls.
Tbh Laxman and Mankad a little unlucky to continously miss out to Kohli. In my heart of hearts I genuinely thought he'd have scored a ton by now since the meme began tbh.

I agree with this pretty much except if Jadeja is going to bat no.8 might as well put Ashwin who is the better spinner.
Jadeja at no.7 makes his batting more important and justifies his selection.
