Rohit Sharma will lead India in the ICC World Cup

Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian contingent for the first time in a World Cup and the Mumbai Indians skipper will have a lot on his plate.

India's experiment and permutation and combinations have led to a lot of confusion regarding their setup and now Rohit highlighted a major issue in their batting order.

Rohit Sharma highlighted one major issue in the Indian batting order

During a La Liga event, the Indian skipper specified how India have missed specialist a the number four since the retirement of Yuvraj Singh.

"Look, No. 4 has been an issue for us for a long time. After Yuvi (Yuvraj Singh), nobody has come and settled themselves in. But, for a long period of time, Shreyas (Iyer) has actually batted at No. 4 and he has done well — his numbers are really good,"

Rohit will have two opportunities to sharpen his armoury as India will take part in the Asia Cup followed by a five match ODI series against Australia.
