#4 Ambati Rayudu

Rayudu's brilliant performance will help him seal the No. 4 slot at least for now

India were in search of a quality No. 4 batsmen and they might have found one in Ambati Rayudu. Rayudu performed exceptionally well to score a century and a half-century in this series.

He also stitched together a vital 200-run partnership along with Rohit Sharma to take India's total to 377 in the 4th ODI. He got starts in the 2nd and the 3rd matches but failed to convert them into big innings.
