Ashwin and Jadeja provide healthy contributions with the bat

One of the main reasons why India have amassed huge scores in the recent past is the healthy contributions from the lower order. The trio of Ravichandran Ashwin, Wriddhiman Saha, and Ravindra Jadeja have provided a lot with the bat lower down the order.

They have provided a much-needed boost to the platform laid by the top order and middle order and have acted as the X-factor, which was missed earlier.

These contributions easily make a difference of about 100-150 runs which turns out to be crucial in putting the opposition under pressure. Hardik Pandya has also shown glimpses of his batting skills down the order during the recently concluded Sri Lankan tour. Although, a bigger test awaits the 24 year old.
