The presence of a proper wicket-keeper. Ever since MS Dhoni quit Test cricket at the end of 2014, Wriddhiman Saha has taken over and become a very able replacement for Dhoni behind the stumps, especially while standing up to Ashwin and Jadeja on pitches with prodigious turn and bounce.

While Dinesh Karthik has worked hard and performed very well in domestic cricket to forge his way back into the Test setup, it is still unclear over whether he can be as reliable as Saha behind the gloves.
If he can show that he can be depended upon, then surely India would have found someone to bank upon for the future if any such scenario arises again.
