Test opener K.L. Rahul is made the number four by the Indian team management going into the World Cup even though the selectors led by M.S.K. Prasad said that all-rounder Vijay Shankar was picked for that spot for the showpiece event. After Shikhar Dhawan's injury, the team management decided to bring Rahul as the opener.

And when Shankar was ruled out, they flew in opener Mayank Agarwal to fit into the middle-order. Clearly, Prasad and his team are just faces and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken note.
