According to former India coach Ravi Shastri, he considered batting for Virat Kohli at No. 4 during the 2019 ODI World Cup in order to diversify the composition, which was significantly weighted towards the top order at the time.
In order to ensure versatility in the top four positions, Shastri cited Kohli’s performance in position four, when the star batsman accumulated 1767 runs at an impressive average of 55.2.
“If Virat is required to bat at position four, he will do so for the benefit of the team. Yes, there have been moments when I have considered it. In a conversation on Star Sports’ Selection Day broadcast, Shastri stated, “I thought I may have discussed that with MSK as well of him batting at four just to break that top heavy line up, even in the previous two World Cups when I was coach in 2019.”
“You know, it was proven that we were doomed if we lost two or three at the top. Just for that encounter Additionally, Virat Kohli is qualified to be ranked fourth based on his record, the speaker continued.
