Five strategical tweaks India should make in the 2nd ODI against the Windies

#2 Ambati Rayudu at no. 3

Ambati Rayudu is averaging more than 50 in his 41-game ODI career

Virat Kohli strongly believes that India's middle-order problems can be solved if Ambati Rayudu owns his place at the no. 4 position in the 17 games ahead of the 2018 ODI World Cup. In order to do so, Rayudu needs more time on the pitch. With the phenomenal form of India's top-order trio (Dhawan, Rohit and Kohli), the middle-order hardly get substantial time in the middle.

Kohli can send Ambati Rayudu after the fall of 1st wicket during the 2nd ODI against the Windies. Playing for 30-40 overs will give a chance to the Hyderabad star to score a big hundred. With a batting average of over 50 in ODIs, sending Rayudu up the order is not entirely a gamble.

The Windies bowling average and strike-rate is the worst of all the ODI teams in the 2nd power-play overs. Rayudu can capitalize on that and cement his place in the Indian middle-order.
