South Africa vs India 2018: 5 positives for India from this tour

#4 Strong bench strength

India was able to rotate players regularly because of good bench strength

India is one of the strongest teams in the world in all three formats. The reason behind this success is their solid bench strength. India has backup players for every department whether it is batting, keeping, spin bowling or fast bowling.

The current ODI team does not include the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, who are the best spinners in world cricket. Senior batsmen like Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh are also not part of this team and still, India is the number one side in ODI format.

When it comes to Test cricket, this team has produced 5-6 good quality, fast bowlers. There are 3 openers in the squad and lots of back up batsmen are there for the middle order.

The bench strength of this team does not allow any player to get complacent, which makes the team a very competitive side.
