Asia Cup 2023: Who will bat at No 4 in Asia Cup 2023

Who will bat at No 4 in Asia Cup 2023: The Indian Cricket Team still has a challenging battle with just a single week till the first match of the Asia Cup 2023. Rohit Sharma & Co. are currently chased about by the Number 4 mystery once more. Since Yuvraj Singh announced his retirement, India has not had a consistent No. 4 player in ODIs. India has consequently frequently paid attention to temporary players. Rahul Dravid should address it as Bengaluru hosts India’s Asia Cup training camp. Who will play there—Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, or someone else?

India doesn’t have time to reconsider their starting lineup with the World Cup in 2023 only a few weeks away. On September 2nd, the Men in Blue will face off with a bitter rival Pakistan without KL Rahul, a potential No. 4 alternative. Will India’s wildcard versus Pakistan be Tilak Verma? It is a good question to ask.

Ishan Kishan’s addition to the batting order now has the potential to destabilize the entire top and middle order of the Indian lineup. The Southpaw is a powerful opener who has had success frequently. He has an issue with consistency. Can he play at No. 4 or possibly lower in the lineup? Yes and No all at once. Let’s look at some of India’s choices for No. 4 before we continue with this.

Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer is the No. 4 batter for the Indian contingent in an ideal situation. The KKR captain, who is 28 years old, has both skill and experience on his side. Iyer, though, has recovered from a long-term injury. It can be a huge risk for him to make his long-overdue comeback to international cricket against Pakistan.

KL Rahul:

Despite the Indian wicketkeeper’s absence for India’s opening Asia Cup 2023 match against Pakistan, KL Rahul is a strong candidate to bat at number 4. The LSG captain is recuperating at the NCA after undergoing hamstring surgery. Due to a little ache, he will miss the first game.

“We have not played many ODIs in the past 6-7 months, but if you look from 2020-21, I have kept wickets and batted at four. I have been assigned this role by the team. I don’t exactly know the reason for Pant’s release. The medical team will be able to tell why Pant was released,” KL said after the Bangladesh series.

Virat Kohli:

Virat Kohli’s name appearing on this list shouldn’t come as a surprise. It goes without saying that Kohli will start at his preferred position of number 3 in the lineup. Rahul Dravid, however, conducted a little experiment in the India vs. West Indies series when there was uncertainty regarding KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer’s ability to recover in time for the Asia Cup 2023.

India’s 2023 squad for the Asia Cup:

Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya (VC), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.
