A combined XI of India's men's and women's cricket teams

All-rounders

Deepti Sharma

One of the most underrated performers in the Indian cricket team, Deepti Sharma proved to be India’s best all-rounders in their successful World Cup campaign.

She has opened the innings on a number of occasions for India in the past and holds the record for the highest score by an Indian in ODIs when she scored 188 against Ireland.

She has troubled opposition batsmen with her bowling as well bowling quick through the air and generating a lot of turn.

Ravindra Jadeja

Given Ravichandran Ashwin’s poor run of form, Ravindra Jadeja would be preferred as the second spinner in the side.

He has transformed himself over the past few years and is one of the best bowlers in the Indian team right now.

He did not perform up to expectations in the ICC Champions Trophy but given his ability to pick up wickets at regular intervals and contain the opposition’s run-rate, he would be a perfect pick in the side.
