Kohli has an exciting young team

This Indian team is a young side which will play with each other for another 5 years at least and that gives the side a settled look.

The batting looks safe in the hands of Kohli, Pujara, Vijay, Rahul and the man of all seasons for India, Ajinkya Rahane.

The wicketkeeper, Wriddhiman Saha, has started to come into his own in the Test arena. The bowling has options for every pitch that is on offer.

When the team is young and has a settled look, it makes the job of a captain a lot easier as he has a few things to worry about and can focus on the other team's weaknesses rather than pondering upon his own team combination.
