Andre Siddharth: Batting Position
Main role: Top-order right-handed-batter. Nearly all his profiles merely make him a Batter; there is little indication that he was a finisher or lower-order all-rounder.
Domestic use (Tamil Nadu/Ranji): Traditionally used in the upper-order where he has scored more extensive innings and cashed in on starts- as has been the nature of his first-class run-scoring.
T20/TNPL role: played as a top/middle order batter. The way he comes into cricketing innings in TNPL, demonstrates that he is coming in early to make the innings without being held back until he could hit end-overs.
IPL status:N/A first debut, no stable IPL batting order has been assigned. Due to his profile and use within his country he is most likely to fit as a top or an upper middle-order batsman when he gets into the XI.
