The most fragile part of that Indian batting department is the middle order and right now, the selectors should start looking at the players who are going to make that middle order a little more dependable and that's where Shubman Gill comes into play.

The versatile Kolkata Knight Riders batsman can play anywhere from opening to the middle order and if Virat Kohli is being rested for the limited-overs series, expect Gill to be India's one down batsman.

#1 Shreyas Iyer

India have tried many options at that number four spot for the last 4 years and they still haven't found that solid batsman who can glue their innings together. Right now, Shreyas Iyer is India's best bet at number 4 as the Delhi Capitals captain is a proper middle-order batsman who plays spin and pace both very well and loves to dominate the opposition.

Of all the batsmen mentioned in this slideshow, Iyer is also the most experienced and the way he has performed over the last two years, he definitely deserves a shot at the underperforming Indian middle order.
