Our middle-order batting in this series was good: Rohit

India's middle-order issues in ODIs have been spoken about extensively for a long time, but new captain Rohit Sharma was happy with the kind of effort put in by the likes of Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav in their 3-0 series win over West Indies.

Suryakumar was in fine nick in the first two games while Shreyas and Rishabh Pant came good in the final encounter in a relatively low scoring series on a difficult track where bowlers ruled the roost.

"What we were worried about was how we were challenged in the middle overs, but our middle order batting in this series was very good," Rohit said.

"We batted according to the conditions and we had spoken about it for a long time that middle order does not get too many opportunities because the top three bat, but in this series, middle order batted well and as per the situation, which was a positive," said Rohit.

While Rohit along with other two seniors Shikhar Dhawan and former skipper Virat Kohli have scored bulk of the runs during the last 10 years, the middle-order has often caved in under pressure when it mattered.
