Cricket News: Dilip Vengsarkar backs KL Rahul at number 4

World Cup is less than two weeks away and the Indian team is one of the top favourites to win the title. The Virat Kohli led side have got all the bases covered but there are still clouds of uncertainty over who will bat at No. 4 position. While the selectors have put two more players namely MS Dhoni and Vijay Shankar, in the fray for the spot but former India cricketer and former chief national selector Dilip Vengsarkar has a slightly different opinion. Vengsarkar feels that India's third-choice opener for the marquee tournament is KL Rahul as he has the technique to complement the top three. The number four position has been a bone of contention after Ambati Rayudu failed to make the cut despite being given many opportunities in the run up to the tournament. The 1983 World Cup winning team member also feels that Rahul's technique will give him an advantage.
