India look for middle-order options ahead of England tour
The Statesman Kolkata

Virat Kohli's retirement from Test cricket leaves India with a vacuum in the middle order, especially the No.4 slot in the batting order.
Virat Kohli's retirement from Test cricket leaves India with a vacuum in the middle order, especially the No.4 slot in the batting order. Ever since the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar in 2013, India made a smooth transition with Kohli owning the spot in 99 out of the 115 Tests played so far, with others filling in as replacements on the remaining occasions.
Ajinkya Rahana took the spot on nine occasions while in the last series that Kohli missed entirely - the home Tests against England in early 2024 - India used as many as four batters at two-down: KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Rajat Patidar (in two Tests) and Devdutt Padikkal.
