5 takeaways for India from the India-Australia series

#4 Flexibility

India experimented with a few things according to the situation of the game and most of them paid off.

‘Flexibility’ and ‘experiment’ were two words that have been doing rounds during the Indian team’s press conferences especially when a batsman was addressing it.

One of the main concerns for India ahead of this series was the batting order. Positions haven’t been fixed but India have been able to identify certain players who can play different roles in different situations.

For example, Pandya was tried at No. 4 in a couple of games to try and take the game away from Australia by attacking the spinners and it paid off. Manish Pandey after failing in the first couple of outings (in his designated No. 4 position) did well at No. 6 and Jadhav and Dhoni showed they can bat at any position.
