5 Talking Points from West Indies - India Test series

Unresolved issues still linger

Where does KL Rahul’s form put Murali Vijay?

India might have won the series without losing a game but it was by no means a series that offered all the answers that were looking for. Virat Kohli might not be too fussed about where he bats in the side but a settled batting line-up has always been key to a successful team and right now that isn't something this side has.

The injury to Murali Vijay and impressive performances by both KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan means that even the position of one of the country's most consistent batsman over the past few years isn't guaranteed of a place in the XI. The addition of Rohit Sharma for the last two Tests meant the batting order had to be shuffled once again.

While it always helps to have a pool of players who are always available to step in if someone goes out of form, India do need to figure out their batting order soon. As far as the bowling is concerned with 13 home Tests on the agenda, spinners are likely to dominate the proceedings as far as selection is concerned but the performance of Mohammad Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar should give the selectors some food for thought.
