Does Kumble, Zak & Bumrah finish this XI?

Reckon Gill has the potential to displace Sehwag at the top of the order. Only time will tell.

Nah. Bumrah , srinath and kumble but I am not certain about the last one. Ash has made a decent case with his improved bowling overseas

Laxman was also pushed to open early in his career as Indian middle order had Dravid, Tendulkar, Azhar and Ganguly. From the time he was given a consistent run in the middle order, he came on his own. Averages 48.5 when he is not opening.
Even in his debut test match, he showed glimpses of how much of a clutch player he really is. Scored a high quality 51 on a difficult pitch in a match more famous for Srinath's 6/21 bowling out South Africa for 105 chasing 170.

Whatever it takes!!!
Honestly, RSA were sawn off that game due to some bad decisions by the umpire, but, without VVS' 51, RSA would have won anyways.

I rate Laxman so highly tbh. Don’t GAF who other people rate ahead of him or whatever, they’re entitled to their view.
But he almost always stepped up against Aus (which is all that counts, let’s face it) and was awesome to watch while he did it. Genuinely one of my fave player of all time. Dravid my other fave of that era of Indian players, albeit very different sort of batsman.

He sucked IMO. Should've been dropped for Hemang Badani.

someone on cricinfo did some fancy stats analysis and it turned out that Lara and Laxman were two of the best batsmen at being the best at playing well when the going was tough
Laxman is the perfect 5. can get you runs in a pinch in a normal day and when the need arises can save your ass with a great knock
