All-rounders are a crucial element of any cricket team. Their ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes the team look well-rounded. Team India too have a nice complement of four all-rounders that gives the team the right balance. Two of these four are pace bowlers and two are spinners, of which three players are likely to make the XI. It is to be seen if the team prefers two pace-bowling all-rounders and one spinner-batsman or any other combination depending on the conditions and strength of the opposition.

Tail must wag

The Indian team management has always been concerned about the depth of their batting, with numbers nine, 10 and 11 barely contributing with the bat. These days, teams expect every tailenders to make handy contributions as that can make a difference in close games.
