TIL Desk sports/ India captain Virat Kohli again backed Ambati Rayudu for the critical number four slot after the “intelligent” batsman reposed his skipper’s faith with a less-than-a-run-a-ball century in the fourth ODI against the West Indies, in Mumbai, on Monday.
India recorded one of their biggest victories in the 50-over cricket with a 224-demolition of the visitors, following blazing hundreds by Rayudu and Rohit Sharma. “Rayudu has taken his chance with both hands. We need to back him till the 2019 World Cup. He reads the game well, so we are happy that someone intelligent is batting at number four,” declared Kohli, at the post-match presentation ceremony.
India were really ruthless, barely two days after the shocking defeat in Pune, as they took a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. “Yes, (we) ticked all the boxes. We were clinical in all departments. We got into rhythm. We are known to bounce back and it was another example. Khaleel (Ahmed) was good with pitching it in the right areas, making the ball talk, and swinging it both ways,” the skipper added.
