Both KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan were in good touch and thus Kohli decided to accommodate both of them in the playing eleven and play himself at number 4. This was something that former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman felt was one of the major reasons why India failed to post a decent total.
“I don’t see this working. Sachin Tendulkar was the best player the world had ever seen. But he never relished batting at number four” Laxman told Star Sports after the end of the match.

Laxman insisted that if KL Rahul was to play in ODIs, he had to bat at number four as Kohli’s number three spot should never be in question.
