5 Players who can open for RCB in IPL 2020
Which two players will RCB finally go with to open the innings?
4. Parthiv Patel
The experienced left-handed batsman from Gujarat was one of the few bright spots for Gujarat during the previous season. The 34-year-old player from Gujarat has a lot of experience of playing in the IPL. He has been a part of 6 franchises so far. An attacking left-handed opener, he got RCB off to quick starts a number of times during the last season.
Parthiv Patel has played 139 matches in IPL so far and has scored 2848 runs with a highest of 81. Though his international career is all but over, yet his importance in domestic cricket is unmatched. He has been Gujarat’s captain for quite some time now. Over the years, he has matured a lot which can be seen in his batting and his shot selection.
Patel was quite impressive for RCB during the last season when he opened the batting with skipper Virat Kohli. He was one of the few players retained by the franchise ahead of the auctions in December 2019 which speaks volumes about the franchise’s faith in his capabilities. It would hardly be a surprise if they decide to stick with him as an opener for this edition as well.
