Ranking the Indian No.4 batsmen by Batting Average at No.4 Position

#3 Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Rayudu as the No.4 batsman in the Australia v India - ODI: Game 2

Ambati Rayudu is the latest recruit played at the slot by the Indian team management. He was tried by the team when West Indies toured India and he played 4 decent knocks of 22,73,22 and 100. It was then thought that the Indian problem of the no.4 slot was solved until India toured Australia.

In Australia, he played 2 matches scoring 0 and 24 and was replaced by MS Dhoni at the no.4 slot for the final ODI. Rayudu sealed the No.4 slot in his name with the New Zealand tour where he came up with impressive knocks of 13*, 47, 40*, 0 and 90. In total, he has scored 431 runs at an average of 40.16.

Rayudu is someone with great potential and needs to be given a fair run at this slot for India. With an average of 47.89, Ambati Rayudu is at No.3 in our list of the best No.4 batsman of the Indian cricket team.
