A combined India-Pakistan Test XI that can win overseas 

3. KL Rahul

KL at number 3 is a good option

Rahul is a highly talented batsman. His ability to look graceful on the crease looks pleasing to the eye. He is a busy cricketer who looks solid when he is in the zone.

Giving him some cushion against the swinging conditions and sending him in at 3 would do wonders to his career. Remember the century he scored in his debut series against the Aussies.

Thus, it the captain's duty to utilize him perfectly.

4. Virat Kohli (Captain)

Kohli- The 8th Wonder of the World

Virat Kohli, the poster boy of world cricket and arguably the best of this generation is currently ranked on the top spot in Tests. Any team without King Kohli is incomplete. The Indian captain has to be there.

This one was obvious, Kohli at 4 will be a no-brainer. He has the confidence, technique and determination. He can win you games single-handedly. The charismatic captain can also motivate the team and show them the correct path during tough times.

5. Ajinkya Rahane

A vital cog of the Indian Test team

Though his recent form his not by his side, Rahane remains a vital part of Indian Test team.

The Mumbaikar, time and again, has shown his class by piling on runs under tough circumstances. Who could forgot his century at Lord's. He has the technique, the temperament and deserves to be at number 5.
