Coming to the middle order, We have the Indian captain, Virat Kohli, at his favorite position number 3. Virat Kohli is a master of run chases and it was quite evident on the 8th of March when he almost single-handedly won the game for India against the Aussies in the 3rd ODI at Ranchi. He is the perfect man to bat at the crucial number 3 position.

At number 4, we have the architect of limited overs cricket MS Dhoni. Dhoni is batting up the order as he did in the previous season for his side from Chennai, giving him an opportunity to take ample time before he goes into the finishing mode. "I was sure in my mind that I wanted to bat up the order, because with age, me batting down the order was like quicksand," remarked Dhoni at the end of last season. He had a terrific IPL 2018, scoring 455 runs at an average of 75.83 and at an impressive strike rate of 150, which was one of the main factors for his side's triumph.
