#3 Ambati Rayadu
Another strong name of a player who can bat at number four for the Indian team is of Ambati Rayadu. He scored 187 runs averaging 62.33 in the four innings that he batted in the recent series.
Rayadu was selected earlier as well for England series but was left out as he failed the Yo-Yo test and Suresh Raina was sent in his place.
#4 Krunal Pandya
The answer to the sixth bowling option seems to be in the form of Krunal Pandya now. Pandya scored 96 runs apart from taking four wickets in the recent Quadrangular series.
If the Indian team continues to play Hardik as the fifth bowler, then Krunal is the perfect answer to sixth bowling option who can also bat well at the lower middle order.
