India vs Windies 2018: 4th ODI, Mumbai: India's Predicted Playing XI
Updated - 28 Oct 2018, 03:05 PM
India and Windies will lock horns at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. With the series tied at 1-1, both teams will look to take a lead in the five-match series. The Windies were able to bounce back in the previous match at Pune and would look to continue with their good show. On the other hand, the hosts will need to fill some gaps and would aim to find answers for their shortcoming. We try to decode India’s Predicted Playing XI.
The Indian middle order has been team’s Achilles Heel and Virat Kohli will like his batsmen to shoulder more responsibility. Kohli has been a lone warrior in the last two matches and thus it hasn’t been a merry story for the Indian team.
Furthermore, there was not much venom in bowling except Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav. Therefore, India will like to deliver the goods.
Here is a look at India’s Predicted Playing XI for fourth ODI:
Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma has had two failures in the previous two matches. Thus, India’s deputy will like to come back to his best in the fourth match of the series.
Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan hasn’t yet come good in the ongoing series. The southpaw batsman has got off to starts in the last two games. However, he hasn’t been able to convert them.
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli has completed the hat-trick of hundreds. Kohli has been making run-scoring like the easiest job in the world. However, Kohli will like a collective team effort.
Middle Order needs to fire.
Ambati Rayudu
Ambati Rayudu could not make a good score in the last match. Rayudu will like to be consistent at the number four position, which has been a topic of concern for India.
Kedar Jadhav
Kedar Jadhav was finally included for the final two ODIs after proving his fitness. Thus, Jadhav is all set to replace Rishabh Pant who could not impress in his limited opportunities. Furthermore, Jadhav will contribute with the ball as well.
MS Dhoni
MS Dhoni was brilliant behind the stumps and took a stunner in the last match. However, Dhoni’s form with the bat continues to be India’s headache.
Ravindra Jadeja
India was a batsman short in the previous game. Thus, they might bring in the all-rounder in place of Khaleel Ahmed. Jadeja has been in good form with both bat and ball. Thus, Jadeja returns to India’s Predicted Playing XI.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Bhunveshwar Kumar wasn’t at his best in the previous match. Kumar leaked 71 runs and didn’t hit the right lengths. Thus, he would like to make a better comeback.
Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav has been India’s best spinner in the recent past. Yadav will like to continue with good performances in the coming matches.
Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal hasn’t looked at his best of late. The leg-spinner has been too full in length and has taken a beating. Hence, he would like to come up with a better show.
Jasprit Bumrah
Bumrah made a fine return to the squad after taking four wickets. The fast bowler was right on the money with his bowling and hits the bullseye with his yorkers.
