The middle order of India's T-20 team is also very strong. After Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Abhishek Sharma, Ishaan Kishan is sure to come at third place. Ishaan is in amazing form and is continuously scoring runs with his bat. Captain Shreyas Iyer will come to bat at number-4 and Tilak Verma will come to bat at number-5. In such a situation, it would not be wrong to say that India's middle order is going to be very strong. One after the other, powerful batsmen will come, who will want to contribute to the victory of Team India with their explosive batting.
