5 Indian players who can solve middle-order muddle
The middle muddle has been an issue for quite some time to Men in Blue and the blows to the team due to this issue was palpable in the World Cup 2019.
4. Rishabh Pant
If someone of the calibre of Yuvraj Singh says that Rishabh Pant has the potential to be a better player than him than he must surely possess something special. Experts across the world believe that Rishabh has been blessed with a special talent and has the ability to hit the ball as cleanly as anyone in the game, but the only hindrance in his game is perhaps his temperament.
After a hammering all the bowling attacks in IPL 2018 and amassing 684 runs, Rishabh finally got a long rope in tests matches. He didn’t disappoint by scoring centuries in England and Australia in a calendar year and becoming the first Indian wicketkeeper to do so. It raised a few eyebrows when he wasn’t selected initially for India’s world cup squad, but due to a thumb injury to Shikhar Dhawan, he got his opportunity but didn’t make any notable performances in the tournament.
Being just 21 years old and a long career ahead of him, he is surely someone India needs to invest more in. Given that he is spending a lot of time with MS Dhoni and has the backing of Virat Kohli, he can surely be a match-winner in the middle over that India craves for right now.
