#2 India's big hitters not meeting expectations

Indian Middle Order
The Indian middle order left much to be desired

Hardik Pandya had a fantastic series against Australia, proving to be the match-winning all-rounder that India has been looking for for a while. His adaptability to play under crunch circumstances and at any position is a big asset to the team.

However, Pandya was unable to deliver against New Zealand. M. S. Dhoni’s slow innings in the first ODI denied India an extra 20-25 runs which would have proved vital. Kedar Jadhav's performance too was lacklustre in the first ODI.
