India's best Test XI for overseas conditions

All-Rounders - Hanuma Vihari & Ravindra Jadeja and Wicketkeeper - Rishabh Pant

Hanuma Vihari is a middle-order batsman from Andhra who has scored a plethora of runs in FC cricket. Vihari came into the national side after some impressive performances for India A team. Armed with a proper technique and a temperament that suits the longer format, Vihari can be a permanent solution to India's quest for a talented number six batsman. He is also a useful off-spinner who bowls with guile and breaks crucial partnerships.

Ravindra Jadeja is a left-arm spinner who perfectly complements his spin-twin Ashwin or the fast-bowlers as he showed in Australia. Jadeja bowls his overs at lightning speed and builds pressure on the batsmen by bowling a lot of dot balls. Jadeja has had a significant contribution to India's dominating performances at home. His recent performances in England and Australia show, why he has pipped Ashwin to become the number one spinner and Kohli's go-to man in all conditions.

Rishabh Pant is an exciting talent who has come to the national side with a string of impressive performances at the U-19 and India A tours. Pant seems to be a safe wicketkeeper who has shown a lot of maturity behind the stumps. The biggest positive has been his aggressive batting in the tours of England and Australia. Pant has joined the great Sachin Tendulkar by scoring his two Test centuries at the age of 21. In the years to come, he is undoubtedly going to be a superstar and India's Adam Gilchrist.
