But he needs to man up and bat up in the order. Or else don't see him prolonging his national team career
He forgot to add, "when there is no pressure of winning".. I would say Riyad is the best batsman in any position, if there is no expectation to win... He has to either be in a situation where winning is out of the equation or you have allow him to take the team to that situation... He will score minimum a fifty in every such match...
