How much has come and gone! The question of number 4 has been bothering Team India since 4 years

The three-match ODI series between India and Australia concluded on Wednesday (March 22). Australia team managed to win the series after India lost the last match in Chennai. At the same time, India’s Suryakumar Yadav, who batted at number four in this series, was a complete failure. He failed to score a single run in all the three matches. With the ODI World Cup looming, the Indian team is once again faced with the fourth question.

India’s number four problem since the 2019 ODI World Cup in England is yet to be fully resolved. Many say that the Indian team lost the 2019 World Cup because they did not have a suitable number four batsman. After that, even in the intervening four years, the Indian team still seems to have failed to overcome that weakness.

Shreyas Iyer got the fourth most chances for the Indian team from 2019 to 2023. He scored 805 runs at an average of 47.35 in 20 innings at this number. Although he is the biggest contender at the moment, he is currently suffering from injuries. According to media reports, it may take six to seven months for him to recover. If this happens, he is likely to miss the World Cup as well. So the team management has to find a competent alternative in his place.

Rishabh Pant, who batted at number four in 11 innings, scored 360 runs at an average of 36. However, his situation is also similar to Shreyas. He is also injured and there is no information about his recovery. After Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan have completely failed at the number, it may be time for the Indian team to find a new number 4. The ODI World Cup will be played in India from October-November.
