Gautam Gambhir took such a decision again? (PC-PTI)

IND VS SA, 1st ODI: Indian cricket team's head coach Gautam Gambhir has been in controversies for some time because he changes the batting position of any batsman. In the Test series against South Africa, he made Washington Sundar bat at number 3 in one innings, while in the second innings he played at number 8. Now something similar can be seen in the ODI series also. According to the news coming out from Ranchi, Rituraj Gaikwad, who used to bat at the top order, can now bat at number 4. The interesting thing is that Tilak Verma is also there in the ODI team who is a regular batsman at number 4 or number 5.

Special attention kept on Rituraj Gaikwad

In the training held on Friday in Ranchi Ruturaj Gaikwad Were especially in focus. This player was seen practicing batting for about 45 minutes. The special thing was that Virat Kohli gave him tips and after that Gautam Gambhir also talked to him for a long time. According to media reports, Gaikwad can be made to bat at number four. The interesting thing is that Gaikwad usually opens but in the ODI series, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open, so he may have to play at number four.

Rituraj Gaikwad's performance

Rituraj Gaikwad has returned to Team India after a long time. This player was dropped from the team after 6 ODI matches. In fact, Gaikwad could not even perform in these 6 matches. This player scored only 115 runs at an average of 19.16. Gaikwad played as an opener in all these matches but now this player can be fielded at number four.

Gaikwad recently played the ODI series against South Africa A, where he proved his excellent form by scoring a century and a half-century, but he played these innings as an opener. Now if Gaikwad will play at number four, he will have to make a lot of changes in his game, which is not so easy for a player. And if Gaikwad is dropped at number four, then it will be unfair to Tilak Verma, who is considered a specialist batsman at number four. Now it remains to be seen with what strategy and batting order Team India will enter Ranchi.
