Former India captain Sourav Ganguly urged the current management of the side to persist with their best players, especially in the middle order.
After the 2-1 series loss to England in the ODIs, Virat Kohli admitted the middle order was an area of concern for the side. Ganguly, however, believed the constant chopping and changing of the playing XI hadn’t helped matters.
Ganguly said it was priority for India to sort out the No.4 slot in ODIs, and said Rahul was the best candidate for the role. “Your top four have to be the best players, you have to persist with them,” Ganguly told Sony Pictures Network. “Go and speak to KL Rahul, and say ‘I’ll give you 15 games, just go and play’.
“India need a No. 4. MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina and Dinesh Karthik are very good at five, six and seven. But a top-class player has to be at four.”
