5 series left for India to sort out their one-day squad

#2. West Indies tour of India (5 ODIs)

The T20 World Champions are nothing close to as good over fifty overs

This might be a low profile series for India to test their quality. The last time these two sides came together, Dhawan, Kohli and Rohit just casually strode to high scores in a manner that was described as a 'net practice' by the commentators.

However, this might be a time for India to stop experimenting and give the middle order a settled look. This is the series for India to give MS Dhoni some time in the middle, by promoting him to bat at number 3. This might sound like quite an absurd idea, but it is important to understand that MS Dhoni has sufficient skill to perform at the international level. What he needs is more time at the crease to settle into a good groove.

Considering he doesn't even play Test cricket, the general public tend to forget that he isn't getting as much game time as Kohli or Dhawan. It is essential to cast the mind back to India's previous ODI series against England, when after a top order collapse, Dhoni and Yuvraj stitched up a colossal partnership, making memorable hundreds in the process. This was when Dhoni came in very early and had the time to settle in.

We know that King Kohli has a reputation for consistency, and we know that, the best players in the team should be given the maximum time to bat. But if Dhoni plays 3, then the number 4 issue will automatically be solved by Kohli, who is versatile enough to play any role.
