Agree with the Dhobi part. The problem also is that India never gave their MO a chance to do anything of note. The way the top order bats, number 4-5 come in the last 10 and are asked to smash it away (which in current ODIs with the way fielding restrictions are, is the hardest point of the innings to speed up).
If they just had a bit more belief and played more normally like England do, I reckon you'd at least give those guys a chance to build some confidence/form.
This really gets at the real problem preventing Indian cricket from becoming the juggernaut it can be in limited overs, mentality. While the Indian players can handle pressure and large crowds fairly well due to the extremely competitive environment, there is too much risk-aversion that is brought upon by the society at large. This contributes to the inability of batsmen to try high-risk 360 shots at international level as there is constant fear that the selectors will replace you with another player if it doesn't come off. Case in point, Pant, who has been horribly managed by the coaching and senior players to the point that it should arguably be a sackable offence for the coaching staff. He would be an absolute superstar in an Australian team as they would back him even if his shots don't always come off.
The problem with bringing in overseas coaches to bring in a fresh perspective is that they don't understand Indian culture and psyche, which is different to anything you will find in the Western world. Quite frankly, I don't know how Indian cricket will fix it, thought that Kohli might be able to bring this in and influence the side positively but he has really mellowed over the last few years, contributing to his rise (and the team's) in test cricket at the expense of limited overs effectiveness.
