Analysing the averages of India's bowling attackĀ 

England v India: 3rd Investec Test - Day One
Ravindra Jadeja will need to step up if India are to compete overseas

After almost two full years of playing in sub-continental conditions, Virat Kohli and his men will embark on their first big challenge in January, for a full-fledged tour of South Africa, that would be succeeded by trips to England and Australia later in the year.

In the past, the team have struggled to win overseas because their bowling has not been up-to-the-mark.

We look at this attack and analyse the bowlers that still have a long way to go before they can be considered the complete package:

#6 Ravindra Jadeja

The left-arm spinner may have improved by leaps and bounds during the course of the home season, but still has a lot of work to do as far as his away record is concerned.

At home, he averages 19.82 with the ball, but abroad, that number almost doubles - reaching 36.82.

Only 10 out of the 34 Tests that he has played so far have been abroad.

His wicket tally also slides considerably in overseas conditions, going from 126 to 34.

His best performance overseas came against South Africa in Durban, when he took a six-wicket haul in the second Test of that series.
