As the World T20 2016 has already started, all the participating teams are more or less reday with a stable combination for the global event. Host India are the hot favourite for this tournament according to retired legends of the game, including Sourav Ganguly, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Kapil Dev and many others.<\/p>\n
India have already showed their intention by winning three T20 tournaments in a row. The series win against ODI world champions Australia was a special one not because Virat Kohli was the highest run-getter of the series, but also because it saw the emergence of two new stars in Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. Both the youngsters bring stability to the team.<\/p>\n
Hardik Pandya is looking like a find which India was looking for ages, post the retirement of Kapil Dev, the last proper pace bowling all-rounder who played for India. And according to skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, everything is right in the Indian dressing as they were running in the 6th gearright now.<\/p>\n
The only concern for the mighty Indian batting order is the number 4 slot. There was already two contenders for this slot in the form of Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh, but the way Dhoni came in at number 4 and finish the game in the Asia cup final against Bangladesh, opens up the debate. Even former cricketer Virender Sehwag feels in that way: “If MS Dhoni bats at number four, it is good for the team. He can play fast bowlers and spinners with equal ease and knows when to slow down or accelerate. I have been saying it since 2015 World Cup. I am not saying that he won’t get out at that number 4, but he can win more matches for India,” Sehwag stated in a recent interview.<\/p>\n
If we look at the batting of MS Dhoni in ODIs till the last year at the number 4 slot, he averages 68.40 which is the best average batting at number 4 (minimum 1000 runs) in the history of the game.<\/p>\n
So, a part of the cricketing world is heavily bent towards Dhoni batting at number 4. Will Dhoni bat at number 4 or it will be Raina if not Yuvraj — we have to wait and watch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
