Kolkata, Aug 27: The much-debated No. 4 spot still not settled and a middle order that needs to be worked on, India's new batting coach Vikram Rathour will have his task cut out when he takes over from Sanjay Bangar after the ongoing tour of the West Indies.

Rathour, who has played six Tests and seven one-day internationals for India in the 90s, and was also a selector was picked as India's new batting coach after Bangar was removed following India's World Cup semifinal exit in which, many feel, he was blamed for not being able to find a suitable batsman for the vital No.4 spot in the limited-overs batting line-up.
