<p>

Overseas XI (Openers)

Sunil Narine, Jos Butler

<p>

Narine is not the same bowler that he was 2 years due to the change in the bowling action. But he has made up for that slight weakness by improving his batting a lot.

He performed the role of pinch hitter brilliantly and often provided the momentum to the team. Overall he scored 357 runs at a huge strike rate of 190 and took 17 wickets. He was the Most Valuable Player(MVP) of the IPL.

Royals decision to make Buttler open the innings proved to be a masterstroke.

He was not getting many balls to play in the middle order but after opening position, he scored heavily and single-handedly won matches. And with the stroke play he possesses, it was difficult to contain him. He scored 548 runs at a strike rate of 155 and also made a record of 6 consecutive half centuries.
