🇮🇳 India’s Middle Order – A Work in Progress
While India has one of the best top orders in the world its middle order continues to struggle under pressure. In recent tournaments fans and experts have seen collapses that cost the team big matches. Here's what can be done to fix this key area
Back the Right Players with Consistancy
Too many changes break the rythm of Team India Improve Middle Order batters. Players like Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson need a long run to settle and understand thier role. Selectors must show trust even when few matches go wrong
Improve Strike Rotation
One major issue in the middle overs is the lack of quick singles and doubles. Players get stuck and pressure builds. Batsmen like Rinku Singh and Tilak Varma can bring fresh energy and rotate the strike better along with power hitting
Flexible Batting Order
India should use a fluid batting order based on match situations. If left arm spin is in play send a right hander. If quick runs are needed use a finisher early. Being too rigid has hurt India in crunch games
Strong Finisher Needed
Since MS Dhoni India has missed a solid finisher. Grooming players like Hardik Pandya and Jitesh Sharma for that role can solve the death overs problem. A good finisher changes the game in last 5 overs
