One of the major reasons for India's massive defeat in the third and final Test against Pakistan at Karachi was the failure of the batsmen under pressure, especially in the second innings. In fact, the Indian batsmen by and large haven't enjoyed batting in the second innings, as can be seen from the following table, which lists the overall Test stats, as well as performances in the second innings:
