IPL 2020: Rating the openers of all the eight teams
Most teams have a good opening pair this time, with a good blend of veterans, current superstars and upcoming starlets. It shall be interesting to see who ends up using the conditions on offer most effectively.
6. Rajasthan Royals- Robin Uthappa and Jos Butler (8.5/10)
Rajasthan Royals have one of the leading white-ball batsmen in the world, Jos Butler. RR will look to open the innings with Buttler and the experienced Robin Uthappa, who struggled to get going in the previous two editions of the cash-rich league.
Jos Butler has done extremely well the past year, especially as an opener. He won the Man of the Series in the T20I series against Australia this month. Royals have the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Manan Vohra or Sanju Samson to open the innings.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is an exciting young prospect who proved his mettle in the recent Under-19 World Cup. Sanju Samson has also batted in the top order in T20 cricket. Vohra, who is an experienced customer in the league, has barely played in the past couple of seasons. He would also be looking to break into the playing XI this year.
