This is something which Indians and Pakistani board Don't do their teams have too much reliance on Virat Kohli and Babar Aazam.
To some extent its true if we considering last India's tour of England, other than that it might be bit exaggerated to say that Indian team rely only on Kohli. for example In South Africa Ajinkya Rahane stepped up, In Australia Pujara was the man of the series. Home season are completely different ball game, each and every Indian batsman is match winner.
Yeah I am not talking about Test Cricket to be specific but in general context. Coming to the Indian grounds I remember even Karun Nair hit a 300 in Chennai and is so far more or less overlooked by selectors while selecting the team. When a person who scored 300 in a game didn't got much chances after that you can feel that team is heavily loaded for home conditions atleast but coming to foreign conditions especially in second innings team becomes too dependent on Kohli.
If we are talking about limited over cricket then foreign and home condition doesn't matter much for simple reason. Pitches are friendly to batsmen everywhere in the shorter format (Home +away) India's record is not bad in ODI, Although they are making habit of choking in Semis and finals but its not because of foreign-seaming conditions or rely on kohli.
In shorter format i would say India rely on Top order batsmen (Top 3), it include Kohli too. Rohit-Kohli names pops up automatically which you already mentioned. Sikhar was impressive for fair amount of time, majority of India's success in recent time came because of this Trio Rohit-Sikhar-Virat . We shouldn't forget Sikhar was in very good form during last World cup, he was bit unlucky that he got injured and i think he might fade away soon from this trio but there are other players ready to take his spot already.
Whenever Top 3 fails, India lose the game 90% of the time.
Yeah exactly this was my point and often I have seen Rohit performs exceptional in first innings however in second innings he seems to struggle too. While chasing therefore we are generally left only with Virat Kohli to rely on. Pakistan's situation is even worse in this context as they too depend merely on Babur Azam.
Just in : Game is about to start and we might see 45 overs today, it would be interesting to see if Pakistan survives the remaining time or choke.
On Google live score board, it stated suspended when I last saw it. Anyways what a waste, the game ended in a draw it was not surprising but I still expected a close finish.
Next stop IPL 2020..
Well pakistan was lucky enough to stop their defeat in this match. After this draw if we see they lose the series by 0-1 which doesn't seems bad but their performance actually was much worse.
