Happy to bat anywhere for the team, says Manish Pandey

As Indian team management already confirmed that KL Rahul will bat at no.4 in the upcoming five-ODI series against Sri Lanka, middle-order batsman Manish Pandey says he is ready to wait for his chance.

“That’s where I bat, the middle-order,” said Pandey, referring to the no.4 spot. “That’s somewhere I have been batting for a long time. But if the team thinks somebody else can do that role really well…KL has been batting really well in the Tests, I would love to see that happen.”

“Whatever the management decides on the batting order, we abide by that, he added.

“Batting at no.5 or no.6 was a bit new for me during the New Zealand series, and I think it took me sometime to get used to that situation with only 15-odd overs left in the game. You can’t settle in from that position,” said Pandey.

“You just need to go out and go at everything from ball one. I think I have adapted to that situation well. Let’s see how it goes” he added.
