Before the World Cup, the middle-order big challenge for India, scored just 25.6% in the last 19 months


·         In the last 10 series, the middle order scored only 2, 887 runs

·         Yuvraj, Dhoni and Jadhav had scored in the year 2017, since then no batsman could score a century in the middle

·         Dhoni had applied the previous half century in the ODI against Sri Lanka in Dharamsala on December 10, 2017.

Asia Cup is over. The next big tournament is Cricket World Cup in England in 2019. However, it is doubtful that the Indian team is fully prepared for this tournament? Indeed, the top order of the Indian team and the bowler are consistently performing well, but the middle order is not able to. From 2017, the team scored 11, 241 runs in 10 one-dayers. In this, the contribution of middle order (4, 5 and 6) is just 2 thousand 887 runs. It is only 25.68% of the total run.
Better performance than not being able to middle-order for five years
1.       The problem of not having a good run of the middle-order in Team India remained only after Yuvraj Singh's illness in 2013. During this time, Manish Pandey, Ambati Rayudu, KL Rahul, Dinesh Karthik, Suresh Raina and Ajinkya Rahane were all tried at number four, but could not prove to any criterion.

2.       In the medal for the World Cup, any two, from Rayudu, Manish, Karthik and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, can be given place in the last XI. Manish will cut the World Cup ticket only if he performs better in domestic cricket or in the upcoming ODI series.

3.       Apart from Mahendra Singh Dhoni, no other batsman has been able to play consistently, but recent figures are not supporting the former captain. Dhoni could not cross the 50 mark once in the past 17 ODIs. He had put in the last half-century in the Champions Trophy.

4.       In the last 19 months, the middle-order batsmen have just managed to score three hundreds. Three centuries came out of the series against England in January last year, Yuvraj, Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav. After that there was not a single century.

5.       At the sixth and seventh places, Jadhav, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja can be selected from any of the two. Kedar's performance was correct as a batsman against England in January last year. At the same time, Pandya could not do anything after finishing the half-century in the Champions Trophy final.

6.       India won the Asia Cup title Apart from many things for him in the tournament, Ambati Rayudu's excellent batting is positive. Rayudu played ODIs almost two years later. Put two half-centuries. He scored 175 runs in six matches. Rayudu was also in the best form in this IPL. They can be fed at number four.

7.       India can send 18-member team to World Cup Of these, six batsmen, two wicketkeepers, three all-rounders, two spinners and five fast bowlers can join. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are fit for the opening. Lokesh Rahul will be a better option in the absence of any of these. Virat Kohli's place in third place is fixed.

8.       The performance of the first three batsmen is better than the middle-order. Of the 11, 241 runs of the team, 6 thousand 948 runs are just names of the initial three batsmen. Therefore the team management will not be more concerned about the upper order.

9.       Three players have debuted for India in the last five ODI series. These include Siddharth Kaul, Khalil Ahmed and Deepak Chahar. They can stay in the Khalil team for a long time. Being a left-handed fast bowler is in their advantage.

Players                     Against              match       wickets      made Run

Siddharth Kaul        England                    3              0                    1
Khalil Ahmed        Hong Kong                 2              4                    1
Deepak Chahar      Afghanistan              1              1                    12

10.   After the retirement of Ashish Nehra in the Indian team, no left-handed fast bowler was found. Khalil gave the team success with bowling the round the wicket against the old ball against Hong Kong. He has four wickets in two matches.

11.   Two spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuswendra Chahal are scheduled to play in the last eleven. At the same time, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jaspreet Bumrah will remain as two fast bowlers. If the Indian team draws five bowlers in a match, then another fast bowler can be included in this.

12.   Potential 18 members for the World Cup: Virat Kohli (Captain), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Lokesh Rahul, Ambati Rayudu, Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik (wicketkeeper), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wicketkeeper), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya , Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuswendra Chahal, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Jaspreet Bumrah, Khalil Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Mohammad Shami
