Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid want hitters to be flexible in their batting order. Management experimented with three games against the West Indies in the ODI series.
However, the move drew criticism from former players, who accused the coach and captain of playing with fire ahead of the 2023 ICC World Cup.
On the other hand, Ravi Shastri sees nothing wrong with this approach. He gave an example after the 1983 World Cup where Sunil Gavaskar and Mohinder Amarnath fought in positions different from their usual positions.
“Sunil Gavaskar and Mohinder Amarnath fought in different at-bats after the 1983 World Championship. Why can’t Indian players be flexible when they are flexible?” A cricketer should be open to change, because that’s what makes a winning team,” he said.
