The ODI World Cup 2023 is just around the corner but Team India’s combination is nowhere close to being sorted. The Rohit Sharma-led team India has been struggling to find a batter for the number 4 position for the last few years. Even in the 2019 World Cup, the number 4 slot became a huge headache for Team India.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, the Indian captain Rohit Sharma addressed the issue and accepted that no batter has succeeded in settling into the vital number four slot in the Indian ODI team ever since Yuvraj Singh retired from the game.

Rohit Sharma Addressed A Big Issue Ahead Of World Cup 2023

Team India has failed to zero down on a batter for the Number 4 position because of multiple injury issues in the team. Now when the World Cup is just 2 months away, question marks remain over the availability of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul.

Speaking to the reporters on the sidelines of a La Liga event, Rohit Sharma said:

“Look, No. 4 has been an issue for us for a long time. After Yuvi (Yuvraj Singh), nobody has come and settled themselves in. But, for a long period of time, Shreyas (Iyer) has actually batted at No. 4 and he has done well — his numbers are really good,”

He added: “Unfortunately, injuries have given him a bit of trouble; he has been out for a while and that is honestly what has happened in the last 4-5 years. A lot of these guys have got injured and you will always see a new guy coming and playing there,”

Further, Rohit Sharma said that the multiple injury issues has hampered the team in the longer run. He said:

“The percentage of injuries that have happened in the last 4-5 years, it is massive. When the players get injured or are not available, you try doing different things with different players — that is what I have to say about No. 4,”

He added: “Even before, when I was not the captain, I was watching no? There were so many guys who came in and went out. But injuries kept them away or they were not available or someone lost form,”
