Answer the question on the basis of the information given below.

Coach John sat with the score cards of Indian players from the $3$ games in a one-day cricket tournament where the same set of players played for India and all the major batsmen got out. John summarized the batting performance through a table, one column for each game. In each column, the three entries communicate the number of runs scored by the three top scores from India. The last row in the table denotes the percentage of the total score that was scored by the top three Indians scorers in that game. No two players score the same number of runs in the same game. John also calculated two batting indices for each player based on his scores in the tournaments; the $\text{R}$-index of a batsmen is the difference between his highest and lowest scores in the $3$ games while the $\text{M}$-index is the middle number, if his scores are arranged in a non-increasing order.

$$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|cI|} \hline \textbf{Player} & \textbf{Pakistan} & \textbf{South Africa} & \textbf{Australia} \\ \hline \text{Yuvraj} & \text{40} & \textbf{} & \text{87} \\ \hline \text{Virender} & \text{130} & \textbf{} & \text{} \\ \hline \text{Kaif} & \text{28} & \text{51} & \text{} \\ \hline \text{Saurav} & \text{} & \text{75} & \text{50} \\ \hline \text{Rahul} & \text{} & \text{49} & \text{55} \\ \hline \textbf{Percentage} & \textbf{90%} & \textbf{70%} & \textbf{80%} \\ \hline \end{array}$$

For how many Indian players is it possible to calculate the exact $\text{M}$-index?

1. $0$
2. $1$
3. $2$
4. More than $2$
