Lol Pant can’t even get a game for India. Jadeja wouldn’t get picked only in India would you look at two specialist spinners. If India toured this summer they wouldn’t of won a testI think a better way of finding who the better side is finding how many players from each side would get into a combined XI that can play across the world.
Warner
Agarwal
Pujara
Smith
Kohli (c)
Pant (wk)
Jadeja
Lyon
Cummins
Ishant
Bumrah
Both Rohit and Warner are HTBs, but since Warner has a longer track record of HTBing and can bat well in SA, I pick him. I don't think there's doubts about Pujara's place and then Smith and Kohli need no explanation. Pant has scored centuries in his debut tours in England and Australia and think is a better player for the wk batsman role in the team. Jadeja can perform as the all rounder, averages 56 with the bat and 28 with the ball in the last two years. Lyon has better versatility than Ashwin and so gets into the team. Ishant's inclusion might raise eyebrows for some but he has been a jet in the past two years while Hazelwood's form has been up and down. Cummins and Bumrah pick themselves.
So that's 7-4 in favour of India in a combined IndoAustralian XI, obviously doesn't say anything but it shows why they have been no.1 since 2016.
