#2 Middle Order (Virat Kohli, Ambati Rayadu, Rishabh Pant)
Virat Kohli will unquestionably continue at number three. Ambati Raydu and Rishabh Pant will play their role at number four and five respectively. It means India might not change their middle order despite a loss in the previous ODI.
Kohli played first ODI of this series after taking a rest during the Asia Cup where India emerged as champions. He struck three dazzling centuries in the series which is the record of three consecutive centuries in one-dayers as an Indian. India will desperately hope this version of Kohli shows up in the fourth match as well. The linchpin of the Indian batting line has already scored 404 runs in the series in an incredible average of 202.00. By doing this, Virat overtook Ajinkya Rahane's tally of 336 runs and emerged as the most runs scorer against Windies in a One-Day series as an Indian.
While the skipper in his dream form, Ambati and Rishabh are yet to do something remarkable in the series. Rishabh did not get a chance in the first match to bat as India won the series opener by eight wickets. In the second and third match, he scored 17 and 24 respectively. He needs to score more to justify his place in the team.
Unlike Rishabh, Ambati hit an eye-catching 73 in the second match that had ended with a disappointing tie. But, in the third match, he managed only 22 while chasing 283.
