4. Bowling

While Kohli mentioned the present squad is the most balanced side over the years in terms of all the departments, the bowlers proved him wrong.
Inability to defend high scores and a lot of extras added vows to the squad and they couldn”t correct their mistakes. The camp has failed to maintain a standard bowling lineup throughout the season. Corey Anderson and Chris woakes went for a truckload of runs as the opposition smashed them to all corners.
Siraj and Umesh had a mixed tournament as they exhibited their skills in few matches but couldn”t be consistent in their line and lengths. The inclusion of Tim Southee made a difference but it was too late for them to correct their errors.
