IPL 2018: 5 teams with the best top-order batsmen

#1 Royal Challengers Bangalore

The duo are favorites to open the innings for the side this season

The four-time IPL finalists have always had their top order to thank with their bowling attack not managing to live up to the expectations. However, with the top order unable to click during the previous season the fate seemed clear for the team as they finished at the bottom of the points table.

The Daniel Vettori-led coaching team had the primary agenda of strengthening the bowling attack. But managed to pick up some quality top order batsmen to bolster their already strong batting line up. The side managed to snap up Quinton De Kock, Brendon McCullum, Manan Vohra and Mandeep Singh who will blend well with the ever consistent Virat Kohli at the top of the order.

Despite losing out long-term opener Chris Gayle to Punjab, the franchise managed to pick out the perfect replacement in terms of hitting and experience by capturing Brendon McCullum for INR 3.6 Cr. Manan Vohra and Mandeep Singh have shown glimpses of real talent over the years and could prove vital with the tournament being spanning over 2 months.

With AB De Villiers and co. set in the middle order it is over, the top order to steer the side into a strong position.
