#2 Big runs from the middle-order

The senior batsmen of the team need to take more responsibility.

The Indian batting, in the whole series till now, has revolved around Virat Kohli. The stylish right-handed batsman single-handedly brought India to the cusp of victory in the first game. He showed his prowess again in the third game with match-defining knocks of 93 and 103.

However, Kohli has not been able to find able support from the rest of the middle-order. Although Pujara and Rahane played vital hands in the third test, the skipper would be expecting some big runs from the senior batsmen who are known for batting long.

Hardik Pandya would also be keen to improve his batting numbers. Pant is just one test old but his resolve at the crease was there for everyone to see. The middle-order needs to fire for India as Kohli may not be able to put big runs every time he walks to the crease.
