Hardik Pandya has shown that he can do that and also play as a floater but India still haven't quite sorted out the No.5 and No.6 spot yet. Moving Dhoni to No.4 will give them the opportunity to try out different options at those options in a bid to see who is ready to take over from Dhoni.

The likes of Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav and Dinesh Karthik are all contenders for that spot, which will be crucial.
