Five understated reasons why India have done exceedingly well in Test matches

#3 Consistent starts for the win

The Indian openers have set a good platform for the middle order

India recently faced a problem of plenty, when it came to selecting their openers for the 2nd Test match against Sri Lanka. It was a tough choice for the captain and the coach to select between the consistent performers.

It's a no-brainer as to why India have had dependable starters for the matches. With the likes of Abhinav Mukund, Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul, India's openers have a combined average of 45.76, making it the best in the world.

The overall average of averages for all the other teams put together is only 34.64 since 2016. This speaks volumes of India laying the foundation of a solid team in front of the opposition.
