Nagpur, October 27: Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni today ruled out the possibility of batting up the order, saying there is no vaccant slot for him in top four positions.
“It’s a difficult choice to make. We have Viru (Virender Sehwag) and Sachin (Tendulkar) opening the innings, Gauti (Gautam Gambhir) at no. 3 and Yuvraj at no 4. The next slot available is no. 5,” Dhoni said ahead of the second one-dayer against Australia here tomorrow.
“I float at times and bat at different slots. More often than not we have a fixed batting line when it comes to these four guys playing the game. If there are more off spinners in the attack we may shift Yuvraj to no. 5 and we have done that.
But to say I have to bat every time at no. 3 or 4 is difficult for me (to do),” he said.
