India vs West Indies ODIs: 3 big positives for Men in Blue

#3. Shreyas Iyer's solid performance at No. 4

One of the key reasons behind the Indian team's semi-final loss at the 2019 World Cup was claimed to be the lack of a regular batsman at the No. 4 position. The answer to that seems to be Shreyas Iyer, who looked solid and a player exactly suitable to be batting at the position for the Men in Blue in the ODIs.

Even though he had a disappointing day, Iyer scored half-centuries in the previous two games, with both the knocks coming in contrasting conditions.

His 88-ball 70 at Chepauk in the first ODI was played on a slow, turning track while he smashed a 32-ball 53 in the second ODI on a very good batting wicket.

The most important quality in a good middle-order batsman in a 50-over contest is adaptability and Iyer seems to have that in abundance. The right-hander needs to be a regular feature for the Indian team in the days to come.
