#2 No threat to Indian middle-order

The Indian middle-order is the backbone of their batting order. Though the likes of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane didn't enjoy the greatest time in England, it is inevitable that they will view this as an opportunity to score centuries and make a definite claim in the next series.
In these conditions, the middle-order becomes even more potent as they fancy themselves as good players of spin. Also, the visitors don't boast of any huge name in their ranks to pose any threat to the Indian batting order. It should be a walk in the park for the home team until they take the opposition for granted and show a lack of maturity in their stroke-play.
