Former star player of Indian Cricket Team Yuvraj Singh wants to stick with KL Rahul at No. 4 position in the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023
Former star all-rounder of Indian Cricket Team Yuvraj Singh wants KL Rahul to play at number 4 position in the ODI World Cup 2023, which is going to start in less than a week's time.
Yuvraj has been quite impressed with the way Rahul has performed in the middle order, especially in the Asia Cup. He shed light on how well Rahul batted against Pakistan on his comeback from injury and smashed a hundred, proving his mettle.
While speaking about KL Rahul's performance, Yuvraj Singh said, “India wants K.L. Rahul to bat at No. 4 now. They have to give him 15-20 games in that position. In the Asia Cup, coming back from injury, he scored a 100. On a spinning track in Colombo, against Sri Lanka, he scored a vital 39 runs. He is looking good right now, so they need to stick with him at N0. 4.”
Yuvraj himself batted at No. 4 for India a number of times, and while talking about the expectations from that spot, he said, "No. 4 is a crucial position, especially if the openers get out cheaply. No. 4 batsman needs to have the technique to leave the ball, play the short ball well, and try and create partnerships.”
