India vs Sri Lanka 2017: Rating the Indian players after T20I series

Middle-order

Manish Pandey essayed his role perfectly

Manish Pandey - 8

In the first T20I at Cuttack, Manish Pandey provided India with just the kind of finish they were looking for as she scored a brilliant 18-ball 32 and set India on their way to their biggest win. While he didn't get a chance to shine in the second T20I, he scored a composed 32 in the final T20I that helped India seal a whitewash.

Shreyas Iyer - 6

In a high-scoring series, Shreyas Iyer didn't have the kind of impact that he would have wanted to. Instead, he finished it with an average of 18 and a strike rate of just over 100. In the first and the final game of the series, he was solid but not spectacular but he failed in the quest for quick runs in the second T20I.

Dinesh Karthik

Karthik's flexibility and the platform set by the Indian openers throughout the series meant that he only faced 14 balls in the entire series. He didn't get a chance to get in on the action in the first T20I but he remained not out throughout the series and made his mark whenever he got a chance, finishing with a strike rate of over 160, the second-best of any batsman who faced over 10 balls in the series.
