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

#1 Jofra Archer - Rajasthan Royals

Jofra Archer could be as dangerous with the bat as Narine

West Indies seems to possess an unbelievable capacity to produce astonishing cricketers. These West Indians reign the IPL with their swag and style and make the tournament even more exciting.

After Dwyane Bravo, Kieron Pollard and Andre Russell it's the time for the young West Indian Jofra Archer to unleash his talent. A menacing fast bowler who can rattle the opposition batting, Archer is also a dangerous batsman who can smack the ball.

His heroics in the Big Bash League with the ball as well as the bat while playing for Hobart Hurricanes gave him that global recognition and resulted in him being picked up by the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL auctions for a whopping Rs. 7.2 crores.

If Archer and Ben Stokes both play then it would be good move to send Archer to open the innings to give RR a flying start as Stokes would play the role of a finisher.
