Top 5 Indian batsmen for the #4 spot in the ICC World Cup 2019 

#2 Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Rayudu looks the strongest contender for number four slot

Ambati Rayudu was a teenage prodigy when he made Ranji debut for Hyderabad at the age of 16. He played a match-winning knock for India U-19 after scoring 177 runs against England U-19 and was expected to be the next sensation for the Indian cricket.

After a stint with the Indian Cricket League(ICL), Rayudu was banned from the domestic circuit thereby delaying his international debut for India. The ban was soon lifted, and finally, he represented the Indian team for the first time in 2013.

Currently, Rayudu has become an integral part of the ODI team and will play a crucial role in the middle order. At number four, he has scored 587 runs in 18 matches at an average of 46 with one hundred and four fifties.

The Hyderabad batsman has performed consistently at no.4 and looks the most eligible contender for this slot. Virat Kohli has also shown immense faith in Rayudu and is likely to bat at the same position in World Cup.
