Team of the series

[sunilz]

Rohit
Rahul
Pujara
Root(C)
Kohli
Bairstow (wkt)
Jadeja
Robinson
Shami
Bumrah
Anderson

Players like Woakes, Thakur excluded for playing less than 3 tests.

 

[Aritro]

I'd just pick 3 bats and 8 bowlers and see if they can bundle the opposition out for <100

 

[Arachnodouche]

Has any player on the bench throughout a series ever been talked about as much as Ashwin? At least do him the decency of making him 12th man.

Rohit
Rahul
Pujara
Root(C)

Bairstow (wkt)
Woakes
Thakur

Anderson

Shaky batting - apt.

Rohit
Rahul
Pujara
Root(C)
Kohli
Bairstow (wkt)
Woakes
Thakur
Robinson
Bumrah
Anderson

Shaky batting - apt.

Agreed on this team and having Kohli as captain. And quite apt in not taking a single spinner and 5 pacers with the pitches rolled out for this series.

Jadeja
Robinson
Shami
Bumrah
Anderson

Pujara, Bairstow and Jadeja had very ordinary series. Still get into the XI. Shows how the batting has been poor this series.

 

[The Sean]

Seems strange to be picking a team of the series before the series is over.

Kohli
Bairstow (wkt)
Jadeja
Robinson
Shami
Bumrah

So you are picking Joe Root as captain?
Looks like you didn't watch this series and the fifteen series before this one.
