'I would have told 18-20 months ago', head coach Rahul Dravid said fearlessly on the number 4 issue; are upset because of this

Indian team head coach Rahul Dravid has been criticized a lot in the past. This is because for a long time, the period of experiments is going on in the Indian team, under which sometimes Suryakumar Yadav is seen batting at number 4 and sometimes Sanju Samson or any other player. Head coach Rahul Dravid has done many experiments, but in spite of this, the answer of who will bat at number 4 of the Indian team has not yet been found, due to which he is targeted. But now Rahul Dravid has put his grief in front of the world.

In fact, Rahul Dravid informed about KL Rahul's injury before the Asia Cup and in the meantime he also explained the reason behind the continuous experiments being done in the team. He said, 'People talk a lot about experimentation in the team, but even 18-20 months ago I could tell who were the candidates for number 4 and 5 - it was always between KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer. Was, but unfortunately all got injured together.

Please tell that all these three players Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have been away from cricket for a long time. Rishabh Pant was badly injured in a car accident last year, after which he has not returned to the field. At the same time, Shreyas Iyer was also troubled due to back injury, but now he has reached the Indian camp fully fit. Talking about KL Rahul, he is not 100 percent fit due to which he will miss the first two matches of the Asia Cup. This is the reason that now once again the team's combination seems to be deteriorating.

The Indian team's first match in the Asia Cup 2023 will be with its arch-rivals Pakistan on September 2, which is why KL Rahul's non-availability for this match is a major cause of trouble for the team. In the absence of KL Rahul, Ishaan Kishan can be included in the playing XI of the team, but the difficulty is that Ishaan is the opener and now he will have to bat in the middle order. Sanju Samson is also present in the team as a back-up option, although the chances of his inclusion in the playing XI are slim. In such a situation, it will be very interesting to see with which playing combination the Indian team goes to play the Asia Cup match against Pakistan.
