#3 Middle order: Manish Pandey in, Shreyas Iyer out
Ad
Shreyas Iyer did start his innings impressively, but he slowed down in the middle overs. Shreyas, like most Indian batsmen, struggled to score against spin.

Since India's batting predominantly depends on its top three batsmen, it is important to strengthen the middle order by taking on someone like Manish Pandey who is relatively experienced at No. 4.
If the top order fails, it will be important for the middle order batsmen to accelerate in the middle overs.
