World XI that can beat the Indian Test team in India

Fast bowlers

Kagiso Rabada will spearhead the bowling attack

Without a thought, spinners will have their task cut out when their team is playing in India. It doesn't mean that fast bowlers have nothing to do in these conditions.

They are required to create the pressure from one end and when the ball gets old, they can extract a lot of reverse swing from the SG balls. A lot of exciting fast bowlers have come up the ranks over the past few years and out of those, we will have two to share the red cherry.

The best fast bowler at the moment, James Anderson is just a mere liability in conditions that don't suit seam bowling. His teammate Stuart Broad is a good choice to have in these conditions, thanks to his performances in this part of the world and the variations in his armours.

Unfortunately, he has to miss out from the XI just to accommodate two pacers who are slightly better than him at the moment.

Kagiso Rabada is a young and an exciting prospect, who has replaced the great Dale Steyn as the spearhead of the Protea bowling attack. The 22-year-old has already taken 87 wickets in just 20 wickets and is already on his way to greatness across three formats. He is fast, can swing the new ball both ways, can generate reverse swing with the old ball, a sharp bouncer and has a deadly yorker in his armoury.

He has played three matches against India and all three of them came away from home. Though he was not very effective in his debut series, he has improved a lot in the last two years and is probably the best bowler at the moment.

Hazlewood will be useful with his accuracy in these conditions

Sharing the new ball will be Australia's Josh Hazlewood, who was picked ahead of his teammate Mitchell Starc, thanks to the latter's injury concerns and the former's accuracy with the ball. Hazlewood is the closest one can get to Glenn McGrath when it comes to accuracy.

The New South Welshman also had a good tour of India earlier this year and troubled the batsmen with his consistency and his ability to hit same area ball after the ball, something that will come in handy in creating pressure in these conditions.

Players considered for this role: Stuart Broad, Kagiso Rabada, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.
