3 alternatives for Ambati Rayudu going into the World Cup

#1 Shreyas Iyer

The stylish batsman who made his international debut against New Zealand in 2017 failed to cement his spot owing to his inconsistent performances in the one-dayers. He is currently the captain of the Delhi based franchise in the Indian Premier League. Shreyas Iyer has had a successful IPL career scoring 1218 runs in his 46 IPL games at an average of 30.45.

2015-16 Ranji season and Vijay Hazare trophy were very prolific for the Mumbai batsman as he scored 1321 runs at an average of 73.39 involving seven fifties and four hundred. Iyer has had a very short ODI career, scoring 210 runs in his 6 ODI games at an average of 42. His one memorable knock came against Sri Lanka in 2017.

Iyer can bat at the number 4 spot with versatility and help take the burden off the lower middle order.

ODI: Matches- 6, Runs- 210, Average- 42, Highest Score- 88.

T20I: Matches- 6, Runs-83, Average- 16.6, Highest Score- 30.

IPL: Matches- 46, Runs- 1218, Average- 30.45, Highest Score- 96.
