4 Players who could bat at number four for India

#3 Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill is a stylish right-handed batsman who has a penchant for scoring big runs during crucial games. This was evident in the 2018 under-19 World Cup where the youngster finished the tournament as the second-highest run-scorer with 372 runs.

A top-order batsman by trade, Gill’s stroke-making ability and attacking style of play could be the missing piece in India’s middle-order puzzle. At 19 years of age, Gill still has a long way to go before he can hone his craft. However, for that to happen, he needs to play international cricket against some of the best players in the world.

Despite being shuffled around the Kolkata Knight Riders’ batting lineup, he has still managed to find a way to deliver good performances when needed. The fact that he is a top-order batsman shouldn’t limit his opportunities. He is young enough to adapt to a new batting position.

At the moment, India has an open slot in the middle-order that is up for grabs and Shubman needs a platform to showcase his skills. It just seems like a perfect match.
