5 things the Indian Cricket Team can learn from Pakistan
2) Presence of a middle order anchor
In 2014, India started the series well enough and even took a 1-0 lead. This was on the back of an Ajinkya Rahane century. However, the middle order batsmen never really delivered after that.
This is in sharp contrast to Pakistan. Misbah and Younis Khan played crucial knocks in both Pakistani victories. As a result, the fragile Pakistani batting was able to put up enough runs for their bowlers to defend.
In contrast, the Indian middle order wilted under pressure in 2014. It was left to the likes of Dhoni and Ashwin to put up respectable scores. Needless to say, India lost 3 matches in a row.
