3 areas of concern for India at the 2019 World Cup

#1 The No.4 spot conundrum

Rahane has not been able to cement his place in the ODI side

The matter of worry right now is the vital no.4 batting space. Like Tests, in ODIs this position is the connection between the top order and the lower order and the right man needs to possess it with a specific end goal to keep the balance of the playing XI in place.

A substitute is a bet while a dead-bat is a major hazard. No team would like to go either way and intends to discover the man with the correct mix to carry out the activity. For India, Yuvraj Singh and Virat Kohli did the activity in the 2011 World Cup triumph and it was Ajinkya Rahane who turned out to bat at no.4 in six out of seven matches in the 2015 edition.

Kedar Jadhav, Manish Pandey and Ajinkya Rahane have been tried and tested at the no.4 spot but none of them have convinced enough to make it their own. As the Indian cricket team locks their eyes on the 2019 World Cup; the captain, coach, and selectors need to look and groom players for the important No.4 spot.
