India vs England 5th ODI: What About Indian Batting?

What will be the Indian batting in the 5th ODI of the NatWest series? Indian batting is always notable but in the NatWest series they did not able to show anything unique which is asset for the 5th ODI. From the first match of 7th matches series its top order batsmen continue failure makes the team weak. Dear fans you all hoped that they would show a good performances on the 4th match at Manchester but nothing. I think all of Indian fans are disappointed to see these kinds of job.

If you would watch the 3rd ODI in the TV channel ESPN I think you heard the valuable discussion of Sunil Gavasker and Ravi Shastri. In their discussion the notable thing was about the slow movement of their running between the wickets. Especially their target was about Sourav Ganguly although he did 72 runs in that match. But Indian captain Rahul Dravid hoped that Sourav Ganguly’s back to the run will help the next matches (4th, 5th, 6th and 7th) but nothing. Sourav’s non-responsible batting in the 4th match that will not encourage in the 5th match.

I read an important comment of Sunil Gavaskar about Indian batting line. In that article he wrote that for Indian team needs some strong all rounder then India will do well.

Yes, he is right, if you look over the team you easily understand that the batsmen are only batsmen but did not show any imperative turn round in batting. If they would include tow all-rounder then they will able to show the most important turn around at the time of down fall of the top order batsmen.
