Dinesh Karthik
Person best suited to bat at number 4

There is plenty to like about Kedar Jadhav, but he is not a number 4 batsman. The management has been trying to give him opportunities at that position, but so far there has not been any success.

On the other hand, Dinesh Karthik, who is making his comeback into the setup looked to be in good touch at number 5 and thus could be best suited to walk in at number 4.

He has the ability to not only absorb the pressure if early wickets fall, but also can keep the scoreboard moving right throughout the innings. Also, Karthik can pull out his strokes towards the latter end of the innings, which makes him a perfect fit at the number 4 position.
