IPL 2018: 5 pinch hitting bowlers who can open the innings like Sunil Narine

#2 Ben Cutting - Mumbai Indians

Ben Cutting was instrumental in SRH's IPL victory

The tall Australian fast bowler who is known for his steep bounce can use the long handle to hit the ball out of the park. Cutting's batting performances in IPL 9 while playing for SRH were instrumental in SRH lifting the trophy. His outstanding knock of 39 of 15 deliveries and bagging 2 crucial wickets guided SRH to IPL victory.

He has been in great touch with the bat in the first class games. In Big Bash too he was recognized and appreciated for his power-hitting. A knock of 46 off 20 against Perth Scorchers while playing for Brisbane Heat was one of the many useful innings that he played.

This year he is a part of MI and captain Rohit Sharma may be willing to try him like Narine at least at home i.e. Wankhede Stadium which is pretty small in size and pitch too is batting friendly.
