So maybe it would be ideal if he comes out to bat when there are only 15-10 overs left because so far he didn't look like that he can build his inning in middle overs.
Good point. They should send him down the order for maximum effectiveness. However, he has proven how effective he is in the 3rd position in T-20 matches which is probably why they are continuously testing him in this manner.
In T-20 it doesn't matter much as it's obviously a short format and fast paced cricket so not many would blame batters even if sometimes they get out early when searching for runs.

Team even comeback nicely when they are 3-4 down and have 60-ish runs in the powerplay but it's completely the opposite in ODI. If any team is down 3-4 and scored 100-ish runs in 12-15 overs, it's a bad look because after that you surely need a batting master class from at least 2 batters for the next 25-30 overs and hope 1 remains not out till the death overs.

I won't mind if they use him as a floater, and promote him at like 4 when a team is in a strong position but in case of some collapse drop him down the order for the last 10-15 overs, even if he's batting at number 7. For that skipper and coach need to be flexible.
