“If Virat has to bat at four, he will bat at four in the interest of the side. You know, there were times I thought of it. Even in the previous two World Cups, when I was coach in 2019, I though I might have discussed that with MSK Prasad as well of him batting at four just to break that top heavy line-up,” Shastri said.

The No.4 position has become a major concern for team management since Yuvraj made his exit. In recent times, Shreyas Iyer emerged as the best option and has decent figures at the position. He has scored 805 runs at an average of 47.35 with two hundreds and five fifties.

But he has been out of action due to back injury since March this year and there is uncertainty over his availability for the Asia Cup and the World Cup.
