India captain Virat Kohli on Saturday said his side's middle-order puzzle will be solved if Ambati Rayudu cements his place at the crucial No. 4 position in the matches ahead of next year's World Cup in England. Kohli said the challenge was only to find someone for the No. 4 slot and with Rayudu stepping up for that position in recent times, the batting order was more or less settled.

"The only position we were trying to figure out was No.4 for a long time. We tried many players who unfortunately could not capitalise or cement their places in a way we wanted," Kohli said ahead of Sunday's first one-dayer against the West Indies here. "With Rayudu coming in and playing well in the Asia Cup, it's about giving him enough game time till the World Cup so that the particular slot will be sorted for us," he added.
