2. Oscillation of Pandya's batting position

The all-rounder who has turned several games in India's favor with his every possible contribution in crucial junctures (a direct hit to run out Hashim Amla and 2 significant wickets off his bowling in fifth ODI) is having a very ordinary series with the bat where the all-rounder operated as a floater in the batting lineup. He has scored only 26 runs in this series where he batted initially as No.5 at the start of the series, then was dropped to 7th position for the next two innings and got promoted to No.6, where he did not trouble the scorers. The constant chopping and changing of his batting position in almost every match seems to obstruct him from acquiring consistency. It is imperative to freeze his batting position for better results in the forthcoming matches.
