4 Players who could bat at number four for India

#2 Nitish Rana

Nitish Rana

Nitish Rana is another player who would be a perfect fit for the number four position. He has also scored a majority of his runs in the IPL batting at number four. He has the temperament required to handle the pressure that comes with batting in the middle-order.

Rana’s IPL form seems to be improving every year. Moreover, he is also an experienced number four batsman and has scored 482 runs at this position in his IPL career. This would be the perfect time for the Indian selectors to allow him to feature in the national squad. The lad from Delhi can bowl a bit and is superb in the field. Thus, his multi-faceted game-play could provide several dimensions to the team.

Courtesy of being a part-time off-spinner, Rana can also roll his arm over if required by Virat Kohli, thereby providing his captain with a sixth bowling option.
