IPL 2018: 5 Bowlers who can be used as an Opener

1. Rashid Khan (SRH)

Rashid Khan has a strike rate of 147.83 in the IPL

Rashid Khan’s first scoring shot in the IPL and even in the BBL was a six. In the game against CSK, Rashid smashed 17 off 4 deliveries and almost won the game for SRH. Rashid can definitely use the long handle. He has a strike rate of 147.83 in the IPL. He is currently one of the greats when to comes to bowling in this format but if he starts batting at the top of the order then he will double his value in the side. SRH are struggling with the bat this season and hence are getting low scores at the end. If Rashid is sent up the order and if he fires he will give the momentum to the batting which a side needs in this format. It would be fun to watch if Sunil Narine and Rashid Khan both open in the same game but for opposite sides.
