#2 Manish Pandey

India has tried a number of players in the middle order but without much success. Manish Pandey has been groomed for over a year as a middle-order batsmen but unfortunately hasn't been able to stitch up consistent scores for the team. Since his debut in the year 2015, Pandey has played only 22 ODIs and 15 T20s.
While he has shown glimpses of brilliance with the bat, his temperament has always been questioned as he has been found playing rash shots in crucial times in the innings. With the competition heating up for a place in the middle-order, a poor T20 series might prove costly for Pandey's career.
