Good to know that some Pakistanis are willing to acknowledge a golden period of Indian cricket even existed. Even if it's in hindsight. It's always easier to acknowledge something scary when you truly believe that it has passed
As to OP's question - just need to find a third seamer to partner Bumrah-Siraj. I think it's Arshdeep. Gill needs to be more assertive in team selections and weed out the hangers-on like Jadeja, and India can then rebuild to something very watchable.
You guys are defo weaker then kohli's era.
First and foremost ashwin is gone. Jadeja is terrible overseas and at home hes a fraud duatbowl king who satner exposed after ashwin was finished.
Kohli in his prime avg 55 and was a much better no 4 batsmen then current Gill.
Bumrah is declining now. He's still a goat bit i can tell BGT kinda killed his stamina with rohit running him into the ground.
India will never be able to play all 5 test series with bumrah, bunrah will now play 3 max meaning 2 matches will be played without your ace star.
In 2 years that no will decrease from 3 to 2.
The current crop of bowling is rubbish. This arshdeep myth will be exposed as well although granted he is much better then Shan Masood(Krishna) as a bowler.
Sai and Karun will falter.
I will keep my mouth shut on jaiswal for now cause rowdy crowd.
Gill isnt a great test batsmen. I was trolling earlier but Mr feet dont move, I will only play grounded shots is playing whiteball cricket shots in red ball cricket. His peak will be a 40 avg at best and his decline will be 32-33. Currently hes 35-37 anyway.
Pant is a gem(i was wrong about him) but he alone aint doing jiggly jack.
This test side isnt strong. Infact india in early 2000's were much stronger. They had a batting lineup that could ensure draws or wins and cover for a non existent bowling lineup which is why they managed to upset classic aus.
This batting lineup is not that strong lol. The tail is worse then 70 era tail, the ace star batsmen at no 4 is at best a 38-40 avg batter.
Heavy heavy load on Pant.
