Hardik Pandya's team suffered their second successive defeat in the five-match series against West Indies and the loss also highlighted the lack of batting firepower in their lower order. India's decision to pick specialist bowlers, who can hardly bat, effectively left them with four number 11 batters in both matches. "The West Indies have highlighted one of the issues that India have in white ball cricket. You don't need batters down at 9/10 but they must have the ability to hit boundaries." "We have to find ways to make sure we have the right balance but at the same time batters need to take more responsibility."
