"I can bat at any position but ideally, I like the No 4 or 5 slot in a batting line-up. That gives you a chance to finish matches. I have batted there for Rajasthan and would prefer doing that for Delhi Dardevils too," the New Zealand skipper, who is recuperating after his wrist surgery, told during media interaction at the Feroz Shah Kotla, here today.
Asked about the status of his fitness, Taylor said that he is 95 percent fit.
"A bit of stiffness is there. I had my stiches taken off on Thursday and I am really happy to be here. I believe the surgery helped. As of now, I am available for the Mumbai Indians match but it depends on the team management," Taylor said.
Did he expect Rajasthan Royals to trade him off during transfer window, he said, "You have got to ask Rajasthan Royals that."
Taylor knows that with the presence of Mahela Jayawardene and Kevin Pietersen in the set-up, it won't be easy to fit in among the four foreign players but he has no complaints.
"I feel it is good to have competition. I am happy that there four to five players fighting out for one slot rather than having four automatic choice overseas players."
For someone who is new to international captaincy, Taylor feels that it will be an ideal opportunity to pick Jayawardene or Sehwag's brains on leadership matters.
