IND vs WI: Batting positions need to be cemented says Ajit Agarkar For the upcoming IND vs WI white-ball series, which also include three T20Is, India have rested fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami. The home team has rather gone in with new faces, including Avesh Khan and Prasidh Krishna. "I know there are a lot of different bowlers picked and some of them have been rested, who will certainly be part of that team. The batting positions need to be cemented, wherever they are going to bat. Whether Rahul is going to come in the middle, then he has to stay in the middle for me over the course of the next year and a half, as you approach that World Cup. So that clarity has to be there because at the moment," Agarkar added.
