Abhishek Sharma, in particular, has not been able to make good of the multiple opportunities provided to him with scores of 0, 10, 14, 16, 15, 4, 7 in the last few innings.
Moreover, other Indian batters like Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya also failed to live up to their potential. Although, Tilak Varma did shine with a quickfire 18 ball 33 but he would look to put up a big score in order to cement his position in the high competitive Indian middle order.
One area where India are having no troubles at the moment is with their bowling. Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh set the tone for India in the first match while spinners Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi, with 3 wickets a piece, essentially dismantled the Proteas innings.
