New Delhi: In a video that went viral on social media, team India's head coach Rahul Dravid made a special appearance in Shikhar Dhawan's latest reel on Instagram. After completing a successful England tour, Team India arrived in the West Indies for the three-match ODI and 5-match T20 series. BCCI had arranged charter flights for the entire team. The Indian team left for the West Indies from Manchester on Monday. Players who have been rested from the ODI series, including regular captain Rohit Sharma, will join the team later.
Recently, Wasim Jaffer had expressed concern over Indian top-order's consistent failures.
"India (have) always played well when the top three have scored runs which hasn't happened in the last two ODIs. That's something they need to look at. Obviously, we know Virat (Kohli) is struggling at the moment, Shikhar Dhawan is looking rusty, Rohit Sharma is also not as consistent as we want him to be," said Jaffer during an interaction with ESPNcricinfo.
"That's a concern (top-order failure) but if number five, six and seven are performing like this, I think it will make Rohit Sharma happy more than anything."
