IPL 2018: Top 3 explosive opening batting combinations

#1 Quinton De Kock and Brendon McCullum (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Quinton de Kock can be dangerous at the top

Quinton de Kock is one of the best keeper-batsmen in the world. The South African has previously played for the Delhi Daredevils and the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Royal Challengers Bangalore bought him for Rs. 2.8 crore, which is a huge value pick. He has been a consistent performer for South Africa and his strike rate of 135 is fabulous in the T20 format.

Brendon McCullum is one of the most explosive batsmen to have graced the game. He is the 2nd highest run scorer in the history of T20s. The Kiwi batsman has played for 4 IPL teams and RCB will be his 5th team. He was bought for Rs. 3.6 crore and it was one of the best bargains in the IPL auction this year. His strike-rate of 138 is phenomenal in the T20 format.

Both these players will play seven of their matches at the Chinnaswamy stadium where the boundaries are quite small. The fans can expect fireworks from both these batsmen.
