[ad_1] File photo of Devdutt Padikkal.© AFPFormer India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar feels that Devdutt Padikkal should not be sent at the number four position. Padikkal fared well as an opener in IPL, but the change in his batting position of late has seen him fail in making noticeable contributions. As the former Royal Challengers Bangalore opener continues to struggle with consistency in his current team Rajasthan Royals, Manjrekar has suggested that he should be sent at the number 3 position and RR skipper Sanju Samson should take the 4th spot."The ideal batting order for RR would be if they want to keep backing Devdutt Padikkal, then he can't be batting at No.4 because it is tough for somebody who opens the innings to find form batting at No.4. There is Sanju Samson who could make the...
