Why Rohit Sharma is the solution for India's number 4 woes

#4 A more stable middle order

Kohli at number 3 and Rohit at number 4 is not a bad idea after all

The Indian ODI batting line-up has been following a certain pattern over the last five years. The top-order of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli has been doing a majority of the damage with the bat and they make sure that one of them stays till the 45th over at least to guide the team to a decent position.

Because of this, the middle order is hardly tested and when the top-order fails collectively on some occasions, the middle order gets exposed and more often than not, the batsmen fail to deliver.

Rather than playing musical chairs with the spot, the team management should give Rohit at least a chance at the position. The Mumbaikar at four, followed by MS Dhoni at five, Hardik Pandya at six and Kedar Jadhav at seven respectively will make the middle order a bit more stable and will help all the players involved.
