Although Sherfen Rutherford’s middle order, M Shah Rukh Khan and Rahul Tiwati have not faced widespread challenges, they have demonstrated credibility under pressure.Who is that IPL player?After being unused in the middle-order, Wade said, “The positive thing is that there is a middle order. Sherfen, Shah Rukh and Tawatia have had a good effect in the game when they have got a chance. They have not got too much time in the last few weeks.”Jose Butler is ready to leave the GT for national duty after the conclusion of the League stage, and Wade said that his absence would provide someone an opportunity to handle his role. “We are going to lose Jose after some more games. Therefore, there is going to be another opportunity for someone to come at number 3.”
