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

#1 MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni impressed as the No.4 batsman in the Australia v India - ODI: Game 3

MS Dhoni is another addition to the list of players tried out at No.4 position. He played a very impressive 87* against Australia which grabbed the eyes of many of his critics. Apart from that match-winning knock, he has played as the No.4 batsman when Sri Lanka toured India, scoring 7 runs. In total, MS Dhoni has only played 2 ODI matches scoring 94 runs at an average of 94.

Though 2 matches are not an indicator for a long term solution, the signs are there that Dhoni could be the perfect person to guide the team through rough weather in the ICC World Cup 2019. Dhoni needs to be given a few more opportunities at this slot to showcase to the world that he is not just a finisher anymore and can drop anchor and build the innings at one end.

With an average of 94, MS Dhoni is at No.1 in our list of the best No.4 batsman of the Indian cricket team.
