Shubman, the new No 4 for India

In a legacy role, opportunity for the Test captain to follow footsteps of greats in format

- SWAROOP SWAMINATHAN @ Chennai

THE No. 4 position in Test cricket is the format's holy grail. Sure, there were a few great pre-War No. 4s (Denis Compton and Wally Hammond) but the idea of a No. 4 being one of the side's best bats was a more modern phenomenon with its roots around the late 1980s.

Sachin Tendulkar is of course the gold standard. He scored 13,492 runs in that position, almost 4000 clear of Mahela Jayawardene another giant who had made the No. 4 his postcode for 15 years.

Out of the top 13 run-scorers in the format's history, seven have had an extended run in that position.
