3) Third seamer in the eleven
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah have been a revelation for Team India. While Bhuvi is lethal with the new ball, Bumrah is by far the best death bowler in the world at the moment. Having said that, both are not newbies in the other's scenario as well. Bhuvneshwar has been absolutely magnificent in the death in recent times with his varieties and the knuckle ball that he has developed. Bumrah has also chipped in with wickets with the new ball.
But Team India has not picked a third seamer on a consistent basis with the emergence of Hardik Pandya as a "fast bowling all - rounder", the most envied term in World Cricket. More often than not, his bowling has been a weak link for Team India.
Kohli is not 100% confident about his bowling and that is why you see him trying to use Pandya at a very early stage to complete his quota of overs as early as possible. On a good day, someone like Kedar Jadhav can roll his arm over but you cannot expect a part timer to contribute 4-5 overs on a regular basis.
