The top 3 getting out cheaply is more of exception than rule and so team India as a better side must go about preparing to win the 2nd game confidently.But it is time to freeze the playing Xi and not keeping changes especially on the bowling side.I feel Chahal and Kuldip should be permanent fixture till WC.To me Jadeja's batting, the way he looks out of sorts w/o batting rhythm or free flow is a cause for concern.One mantra for batters in the m.o should be to strive for smooth flow of runs at good strike rate in the middle overs.Too many dot balls just not acceptable.It is better to get out and give chance to the next fellow to come and increase the run rate.A run rate of @5 runs min. has to be maintained in the m.o. upto 35th over together with preserving wkts too.Without this game plan winning WC is next to impossible.

If kohli doesn't move his focus, then focuses of everyone else won't matter!!!
