World Test XI of the current era that can beat the Indian team at home

My Dream World Test XI of the current era that can beat Current Indian team at home!
The Indian team has lost just one Test match in the past five years

#3 Kane Williamson (Captain)

New
New Zealand's finest batsman since Martin Crowe

In at No.3 is New Zealand's skipper and arguably their finest batsman since the legendary Martin Crowe, the 27-year-old Kane Williamson.

Having made his debut in Ahmedabad 2010 against India, Williamson was already earmarked as the potential great since his U-19 days owing to his leadership skills and a non-Asian quality to play top-quality spin with precision. Thus, his pristine hundred (131) on his debut against a top quality spin attack of India.

One of the best overseas batsman in recent years of spin bowling, Williamson's will be the cornerstone of the team against the likes of Ashwin and Jadeja on the raging turners of India.

#4 Steve Smith

In at No.4 is Australia's former captain, Steven Smith. Smith has had a particular liking towards India ever since he started playing for Australia. He scored over 700 runs against the Men in Blue in 2014.

But Smith's finest hour in Test cricket arrived last year when he scored a tenacious hundred in the second innings at Pune on a dust-bowl masquerading as the first Test pitch to help Australia win their Test in India since Nagpur, 2004.

In ten Tests thus far against India, Smith has 1429 runs at an average of 84.06, which includes seven hundred.

#5 AB De Villiers

On his day he can tear any opposition apart as well as grind it out when the going gets tough, irrespective of reputations as well as conditions. It is with this predicament that de Villiers finds himself at No.4.

De Villiers enthralled the cricketing world with a swashbuckling 217 not out at Ahmedabad in 2008, and has since then has continued his love-affair with the Men in Blue.

South Africa's highest run-scorer in the recently concluded India-South Africa series, de Villiers enjoys has thus far featured in 11Test matches against India and has accumulated 1123 runs at an average of 40.10.
