5 best all-rounders in the Indian domestic scene right now
According to Dhoni, Stuart Binny and Axar Patel along with Ravindra Jadeja are India’s best all-rounders“Our best seaming allrounder is Stuart Binny, and our two best spinning allrounders are Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel. Whether you like it or don't like it, these are the best we have, so we have to make the most out of them.”This is what Indian skipper MS Dhoni had to say about the state of allrounders in the country at the post-match press conference after the 5th ODI in Mumbai. However, if you dig a little deeper into India’s current domestic circuit, you will find out that the skipper’s words may not entirely be correct.There is not one but several all-rounders in our domestic structure who are currently playing the Ranji Trophy and performing well for their respective teams. Here we take a look at 5 of the best.
#1 Rishi Dhawan
One of the best all-rounders in India at the moment, Rishi Dhawan has proved to be a more than useful player for Himachal Pradesh in the recent past. Over 2000 runs at an average of 42.02 are stats that will make even a proper batsman proud. Add to it 208 wickets at an average of 25.12 with his medium pace and you have a complete allrounder, one that Team India are so desperately seeking.
Dhawan has also performed quite decently in the Indian Premier League as well both with the bat and ball. He is just 25 and still has a long way to go. However, we will be hoping, for his sake, that the national selectors change their approach when it comes to picking allrounders.
