IPL 2018: Batsmen most likely to top the run-scorers' chart for each team

Rajasthan Royals - Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler

He is my dark horse for the Orange Cap in the 2018 IPL. This is a big gamble because his position in the batting line-up is yet to be decided. Buttler, a middle-order batsman who plays the role of finish for England in the limited-overs cricket, was quite successful as an opening batsman in the T20 leagues around the world.

It all started with Mumbai Indians, who promoted him to open the batting in IPL and Buttler's BPL side Comilla Victorians and BBL side Sydney Thunder took a cue from the IPL champions and opened the innings with the Englishman and he had a good time at the top of the order.

If Rajasthan Royals decide to make him open with Ajinkya Rahane, my money is on Buttler to win the Orange Cap.
