#1 Contribution from other batsmen

In the first Test, Kohli had scored more than 50% of the team's runs. In fact, he was the only player who managed a fifty-plus score in the match. All the other batsmen had failed.
In the second Test as well, the top-order batsmen apart from Kohli failed to get going. This was not the case in the third Test, however.
Both Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul got India off to a good start in both the innings. Rahane was spectacular in the first innings and Pujara in the second. Pandya scored a blazing half-century in the second innings as well to help India's cause.
The team management will hope for all the batsmen to step up in the final two games as well.
