5 Top Players For India’s Number 4 Slot in ODI Format; ICC World Cup 2019 is done and dusted and the result is not what India would have expected or hoped for. After convincing victories in the league stage, the team lost their way in the must-win game of the tournament.
Virat Kohli’s team have a lot of problems to address in order to become the best. Though the over-reliance on the two wrist spinners and lack of fast bowling backups are among the many problems that the captain, along with support staff, should address, the performance of the middle order has long been a problem.
With the continuous rotation of many batsmen at the position over the past 3 years, we look at the 5 players who should be given chances consistently to make the spot their own.
5 Top Players For India’s Number 4 Slot in ODI Format:
5. Shreyas Iyer:
One of the best youngsters in the country. Iyer had been a part of the ODI squad against Sri Lanka last year, where he put in some impressive performances, scoring two fifties in three games. He also was a part of playing XI in three games against South Africa but struggled to make an impression.
The Mumbai batsmen is a candidate to bat at the No. 4 position considering that he has been knocking on the door for a place in the side for more than a couple of years. It will not be a surprise if Iyer gets the chance to give an audition for the spot in the upcoming tour of West Indies.
