India vs England 2017-17: 5 things India must improve before the second One Day International

#4 Losing wickets in a heap

Yuvraj should be the rock in the middle order

The key to any batting effort has to be the ability to forge partnerships. This vital trait has been missing and had it not been for Virat Kohli’s brilliance and consistency, the Indian team would not be looking as solid.

Even in the previous match, they lost wickets in a cluster which on any other day would have spelt doom. However, they have Kohli in the form of his life who resurrected the slide, but a team cannot always rely on the individual brilliance of a man.

Hence, the onus lies with the other batsmen as to how they respond to pressure, as this area of concern cannot linger on for too long.
