Shubman Gill or Shreyas Iyer could be perfect answer to No. 4 conundrum

New Delhi, July 19 (CRICKETNMORE):  The number four slot in the Indian batting order has left a lot to be desired. Considered as one of the best batting units in the modern era, India failed to produce a number four batsman going into the 2019 World Cup and the tour of West Indies will provide the selectors the perfect opportunity to try someone like a Shubman Gill or Shreyas Iyer for that position.

Both the batsmen are currently in West Indies with the India ‘A' team and have been among runs. While Gill has hit 62 and 77 in his last two games against West Indies ‘A', Iyer managed 77 in the opening game and then followed it up with a 47 in the last game. Interestingly, skipper Manish Pandey hit a century in the last game, but he is seen more as a number five or six than a number four in the batting line-up.
