The current batting line-up is one of the strongest India has ever had?
To make it the greatest Indian line-up of all time, you would only need to make two changes. Bring in Gavaskar and Azharudin.
Who would you replace to accommodate these two great players?
Hi Gupta,
I think there is no need to change the batting line up of india coz i think this is the strongest batting line up of india.
One thing more that if india come to pakistan i am damn sure, indians batsman will give a srong headache to pakistan side. Pakistani curators will be in two minds, if they make fast pitches there own batsman cannot handle it and if they make slow pitches then indians batsman will have upper hand.
So hope for the best.
Yaarroo, Indians have shown they can play on fast and slow pitches. So whatever Pakistan does, Indians will be the winners. 
The Indians probably say this everytime they visit Pakistan. Too bad it never materialises.
Well, this particular guy is just using an alternate indian nick to provoke indo-pak fights here…

I think pakistan have also shown that they can play on fast pitches while winning the test series in new zealand.
No one can say who will be the winners.
Hope for the best

Gavaskar was a great batsman of his era.... not sure he would be too succesful in today's aggressive standards (which going by the current India-Aus series means scoring 350+ runs in a Test match day).
Azharuddin was a stylish batsman who plotted his own downfall... and really did not perform too well in the last 2-3 years of his career...
So , the answer is, I wouldn't bring any of these guys in.

I think Pak will make fast pitches... simply because Pak has better pacemen than India. Didn't India provide under-prepared (hence spinner friendly) pitches to Pakistan when they last toured India even though Pak itself had Saqlain and I think Mushtaq. Remember the test in Delhi where Kumble took those 10 wickets.
Answering the Question! yes this is the best indian batting line up ever! IF Agarkar clicks on pakistani tour with bat and Kumble plays odd 10-15 runs innings, then it will be challanging for pakistan.
Re: Is this the strongest Indian batting lie up?
I would replace Tendi and Dravid with Salim Malik and Muddasar Nazar. Please help them getting Indian citizenship. plz…
P.S: What a stupid question to ask.
P.S2: India has always been good in batting and spin bowling. This is the best Indian batting line up without replacing anyone, no doubt about it.

nah..I will bring in Chandra ,maninder,venkatesh Prasad amd Bedi for Sachin,dravid,laxman and Ganguly.
This is not just the strongest Indian batting line up, but IMO, the best BATTING LINE UP, Indian and global.
Gavaskar (assuming you mean Sunil) and Azaradding will have a tough time getting birth into this but Gavaskar will probably squeeze in
