Team India has created some world-class all-rounders in their cricketing history. The first Indian World Cup-winning captain, Kapil Dev, was also an all-rounder.Â
A playing XI without an influential all-rounder is not considered a strong side.Â
Let's have a look at the best Indian all-rounders till date!
Ravi Shastri was one peach of a cricket player. He was classy and fierce. He was considered one of the finest all-rounders of his time.Â
The current Indian coach has scored over 300 runs in both ODI and Test format. Adding to that, he also has over 100 wickets in both formats of the game.
The infamous "Mankad Rule" derived his name from famous Indian player Vinoo Mankad. Mankad bagged over 2000 runs and clinched 150 wickets in 44 Tests.Â
Mankad's opening partnership of 413 runs with Pankaj Roy against New Zealand at Chennai in 1956 remains one of the notable feats of the Indian all-rounder.
There is nothing much we can say about Sir Jadeja which most of you already don't know. Here are some astonishing stats about the Indian superstar,Â
He took the most number of wickets in the 2013 Champions Trophy, which India ended up winning. Jadeja has scored around 2500 runs in 168 ODI games. He has scrapped over 150 wickets in the same format.Â
Jadeja has scored 2000 runs in Tests and has taken 220 wickets at an average of 24.

He is arguably India's best Test all-rounder of the last decade.
Kapil Dev is nothing shorter than the ultimate father of Indian cricket. He kept the cornerstone by leading the 1983 World Cup triumph in which the whole Indian cricket was later built on. He is no.1 in our list of all-rounders.Â
He scored around 4000 runs and took 250 wickets in 225 ODIs. Being a top fast bowler, Dev has scored over 5000 Test match runs.
