Instead, India once again went heavy on all-rounders, picking Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, and Axar Patel together. This unusual combination now pushes Sundar into the No. 3 role at Eden Gardens, something he has not done often in Test cricket. Sai Sudharsan lost his place after a series of poor performances in Test cricket.

The legendary spinner felt three spinners were enough and warned that with four spin options, one of them might not get the overs they need against South Africa in Kolkata. With only two fast bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, in the lineup, Kumble reckoned that there would be huge pressure on them on Day 1 at Eden Gardens.

The commentator further added, “So, that's going to be a bit of a challenge. Day 1, the wicket is good. It's not like you need 4 spinners, and one of them will certainly get under-bowled. So, it's going to be interesting to see how Shubman Gill uses his resources on Day 1. Of course, the 2 new ball bowlers will become that much more critical on day 1 for India.”

Additionally, Kumble pointed out that India’s lineup for the Test looks more like a team packed with all-rounders than a traditional batting order. With Washington Sundar pushed up to No. 3, the pure batters are limited to Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and KL Rahul.
Apart from Jadeja, Axar, and Sundar, the former Indian captain also called Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Sundar all-rounders, making the XI heavily stacked with multi-role cricketers. Kumble signed off by saying, “So, it's a team full of all-rounders, and that's probably the kind of team that India is going with in all 3 formats of the game.”
