Five players who can be experimented for No.4 spot before ICC World Cup
India has been performing exceptionally in all formats of cricket under the leadership of Virat Kohli. It will be a shock if we don't see them as the World Champions next year.
The consistency of the players has been the key of success for the Indian team. However, there has been a concern which is troubling India for a couple of months now. India has failed to discover the batsman who can prove to be a promising batsman at the No.4 position.
Ajinkya Rahane batted at No. 4 for India in the South African series. However, he failed to make the cut into the squad for the England series. Thus, he's clearly out of contention for the No.4 spot in the World Cup.
Let's look onto few batsmen who can be experimented in the England and Australian series for the No.4 spot.
#1 Shreyas Iyer
Iyer has been performing tremendously in the ongoing Indian Premier League. The young lad has also shown few promising performances in the international level as well. As a result, he was included into the ODI squad for the England series.
Iyer has played 6 international matches and scored 210 at an impressive average of 42.0. He has two half-centuries under his bag. In his first-class career, he has scored 3989 runs in his 46 matches at an exceptional average of 53.90.
Iyer has played at the no.4 position in numerous occasions for the Daredevils where he has played some sensational knocks. Thus. he can prove to be an efficient batsman for India at No.4 position.
In the ongoing IPL, the Delhi Daredevils captain has scored 405 runs in 13 matches at a splendid average of 40.50. He has scored four half-centuries in this season. He'll be up to perform extraordinarily in the England series and seal the No.4 spot for himself.
