India becomes No.1 Test team: 5 things that worked in India’s favour

2. A problem of plenty

Murali Vijay-India becomes No.1 Test team

One of the best things happening to Indian cricket is problem of plenty. India currently has three well established and performing openers which would give headache to any captain to pick the best two.

Injury of Murali Vijay provided an opportunity to Kl Rahul to spend some time in the centre, he capitalized on the opportunity provided to him and scored a century making him indispensable from the top slot.

The level of competition in the middle order is such that even the likes of Cheteshewar Pujara has to warm the benches and be in the sidelines. Even in the pace bowling department India has got the right mix of bowlers who can clock 140 kmph regularly along with the ones of likes of Bhuvaneshwar Kumar who can swing the ball both ways at a decent pace.
