#3) Ajinkya Rahane
Ajinkya Rahane is a player who is the best suited to perform the role of number 4 batsman as he is the kind of player who likes to rotate the strike but his performance has also not been satisfactory.
Trending
Rahane has played 25 innings at number 4 for the Indian team and has scored 843 runs at an average of 37. His record looks impressive but he hasn't performed to the best of his abilities in international cricket.
Rahane might still stand a chance to be part of the Indian team if the other players on the list do not perform in the ongoing Asia Cup and against the West Indies. Rahane can be a great addition to the Indian World Cup squad if he is in good form and he could be preferred ahead of players like Manish Pandey and KL Rahul at number 4 if the selectors are forced to choose one among them.
