India seemed to have found the answer to their nagging number four conundrum with KL Rahul playing a classy knock against Bangladesh in their final warm-up match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
Put into bat, India's top three once again failed to fire leaving the onerous task of rebuilding the innings to the middle-order batsmen.
Rahul, who was selected as a back-up opener to Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, not only steadied the Indian ship but also helped the two-time world champions take complete control with a brilliant knock.
Rahul made 108 off 99 with the help of 12 fours and four sixes. And that effectively sealed the number four spot in the Indian line-up.
Impressed with Rahul's performance, fans took to social media sites to endorse the stylish Karnataka batsman as India's number four.
Here are some reactions:
But it was a bad day for Vijay Shankar, the original choice for the number four spot. The all-rounder could manage only two off seven balls.
