Certainly better than the Team of 1983 in ODIs

The current Indian Team is the ODI World Champion.The Indian Team has had troubled times in tests.But in ODIs, they are still rather good.They first defeated the west Indies and then They lost fighting to England, pummeled them 5-0 and then easily beat the West Indies.And now they have after dropping a game to the No.1 ranked side, defeated the World Cup runners up and the World No.1 back to back in tough matches.The same cannot be said of Kapil's team which was thrashed so badly by the West Indies in ODIs that Kapil was no longer the captain when India won the World Championship in Australia in 1985.
It must be said of KapilDev and his core team that they remained a competitive Test Team and in 1986 won a series in England 2-0 in 1986.That is the biggest margin by which an Indian team has won a Test series away outside of Bangladesh.They had won 3-1 against Newzealand in 1968 but there was one loss, though the margin remains the same.
Gambhir,Kohli, Ashwin and Yadav can be the core of the team which can win by a bigger margin abroad and achieve the first Test series win in Australia and South Africa.India can build a team which can be good across the two formats like the Australians till recently.
