If you have a look at the highest run-getters for India in this home season, you will see that it is the likes of Cheteshwar Pujara and KL Rahul who feature in the top 3.
For a large part of the home season, the middle-order struggled a great deal particularly Ajinkya Rahaneho had a season to forget with the bat, making just the solitary hundred against New Zealand.
Karun Nair was the talk of the town after he made the triple hundred against England in Chennai, but barring that effort, there was nothing else of note from the right-hander, as he managed to conjure a mere 71 runs in the remaining matches.
If India is to be an all-round team, then it will require it's middle order to produce consistent performances with the bat and not always depend on the top 3 to deliver the goods as was the case with a large part of this home season.
