IPL 2020 | Is it time for Kolkata Knight Riders to look beyond Sunil Narine the opener? 

Image
If you were thinking it was Kolkata Knight Riders all along to have unearthed the pinch-hitting side of Sunil Narine and ergo placing him at the top of the order in the batting lineup, you are wrong. Back in January 2017, Melbourne Renegades had left the crowd dumbstruck when Aaron Finch had walked in along with Narine. Until then, the highest position he ever batted at was No.5, four times in T20s. The move became so effective that KKR adopted it when Chris Lynn was ruled out of the 2017 IPL season with a freak shoulder injury in the second match. Narine scored 140 runs in 86 deliveries in that season at a run rate of 9.72 per over. And together with Lynn, the pair has been one of the most devastating opening combinations in IPL history, let alone T20. They scored 708 runs in the 26 times they have batted with the powerplay scoring rate being above 10.  from IndiaTV Sports: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/33ikuMr via IFTTT

After defeating Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their campaign opener, the Steve Smith-led RR overhauled the highest tournament total of 224 against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in their previous match. They are high on confidence as they take another step towards qualifying for the playoffs, though that is a bit far at the moment. RR opener Sanju Samson and skipper Smith smashed half-centuries in the game against KXIP.
