Kohli at 4 for WC?

[StriKe]

Rahane at 4 is a recipe for disaster. Should be Rohit or Kohli at 4

Better than having Rayudu..Rohit is fixed for opening slot with his 264.

So' date=' why do you mention him at 4 in your line up?[/quote'] fixed :--D

[randomGuy]

Rohit is fixed for opening slot with his 264.

Australia will be different. Chasing will be different.

better for india if kohli bats at 4 rahane dhawan nohit kohli

[BeautifulGame]

better for india if kohli bats at 4 rahane dhawan nohit kohli

Kohli should be at 3.Whoever misses out on opening BTW Rahane and Rohit should bat at 4 IMO. Can't shift our best bat up and down the order to accommodate lesser quality batsmen. Every time we did it with Sachin in WC we failed

[bowl_out]

Kohli came in at 4 again, and did what he would do at 3... The early wickets helped his cause :hysterical: Still :giggle:

[Bigg Brother]

Rahane is suitable at opening slot only.He is not worth at no.4.His failure in nz and sa tour clearly shows that.Rohit is suitable for no.4. Dhawan don't know should play or not.He is playing as if he is granted in team.If India can put Dhawan aside rohit should open.We are not feeling no.fourth's importance since 2011 wc bcoz of kohli's one handed heroics since then.we gonna miss yuvi badly at no.4 in wc.

[Laaloo]

Nope. We need our best batsman to bat at 3.

[Bigg Brother]

Ya.certainly.Australia Will be different.we saw that in Nz ..Rohit suitable only when he can cover up the ball he wastes during chasing.We saw that In nz when he failed after wasting so many balls chasing 290.rahane is suitable at opening.he showed that also in His debut at England in 2011.

Kohli said, he might not keep batting at four once India's middle order was back to full strength - they were without their premier finisher, MS Dhoni, in this series. "As long as we are strengthened in the middle order, I don't see any reason to keep batting at four," he said. "I have scored most of my centuries and won most of the games for the team at No. 3. "As long as I can play in the same way I did today batting at three as well, I don't mind batting at either position because I am comfortable at both. Whatever my gut-feel tells me and what the team requires off me will decide my batting position. But I am sort of learning to bat at other positions as well."

[SLICKR392]

Nope. We need our best batsman to bat at 3.

Yeah, like Dravid. :beach:

[bowl_out]

Yeah. That is what I said... The top 4 will be : 1) Rahane, Dhawan, Kohli, Rohit (OR) 2) Rohit, Dhawan, Rahane, Kohli (assuming Rayudu is benched and Yuvi is not in the squad) Given that Kohli says he is flexible with his batting position, they need to try both combinations before the WC

[gattaca]

Yeah' date=' like Dravid. :beach:[/quote'] This is not a test match to Tuk Tuk. I always of giving my bat to Rahul Dravid so he could knock it with his Tuk Tuk.

This is like padosis posting video of tendulkar bowled to discredit him.

How is this even remotely connected. I am not discrediting anybody here?

[maniac]

:finger: JbMjkYre-YQ

That was towards the end of his career :cantstop: We could have won so many games in the 90's had he managed to score atleast make 50(53) instead of 22. Anyways legend :two_thumbs_up:

[Laaloo]

Yeah' date=' like Dravid. :beach:[/quote'] oh no best batsmen in odis currently and in tests best batsman at 4 :finger: Dravid was a POS in ODIs and so effing overrated in tests. a few fifites against mediocre windies team and the losers on ICF think he's ATG :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

Never understood the logic of our best batsman needs to be no.3. Its a fact Kohli is not very comfortable against swing and you need technically correct batsman like Rahane at 1st down. Ofcourse, if the openers give a good start then Kohli can shift positions. Virat is our best ODI bat and no.4 will suit him. Ball will get old. Its the perfect time for him to come and capitalise. Atleast in overseas I want to see Kohli batting at no.4 for India. Yes he has a fantastic record at no.3 but he avg. even more at no. 4. Its not about the position, its about his class.

Kohli may not be good vs swing but others are even poorer.Also you want him to play more balls as he'll make it count.Guys like Rayudu will tuk tuk and get out increasing the required run rate

If the ball is genuinely swinging,no one will be able to up the run-rate,they will infact get out 9/10 times. Also we are not playing a test match in English conditions that playing swing becomes the be all end all argument. New ball swings in any condition,infact swings more in India and SL Traditionally India's weakness is not swing,it is pace and bounce. But apart from that I agree with you Kohli should be our No3
