Rohit and Rahane have formed a formidable partnership at the top
India's skipper has had a rather disappointing series
Ad
Virat Kohli had had a quiet series by his standards, averaging just 35 across four matches. He has gotten starts in two games but subsequently thrown his wicket away. He will be looking to finish the series on a high and get some confidence ahead of the T20I series. While his batting has disappointed, his aggressive body language and smart captaincy have paid rich dividends for Team India.
Manish Pandey was expected to stake his claim for the No.4 spot in this series, but surprisingly, his two biggest contributions have come lower down the order - at No.6. With Hardik Pandya's promotion to 4 proving to be a masterstroke, Pandey's only hope of finding a place in the side will be if he can hone his art as a finisher.

Arvind Sriram
After a brief and undistinguished stint as an electrical engineer, Arvind discovered his true calling was churning out hyperbolic prose about athletes he had never met.
A writer and editor with close to a decade’s experience, Arvind’s work has been published on Sky Sports, the BBC, the Guardian and other leading websites. He has attended multiple Grand Slams on the ground and provided coverage for Super Bowls and the NBA playoffs.
As a lifelong fan of Arsenal and the Indianapolis Colts, he has mastered the art of managing expectations and can convince anyone that finishing fourth is a moral victory.
When not armchair quarterbacking, Arvind spends his time playing blitz chess online, watching air crash documentaries and smashing controllers after his latest Weekend League defeat.
