#3 Kolkata Knight Riders: Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine
Easily one of the most destructive opening pairs in the history of IPL is the pair of unlikely duo of Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine. This pair will once again return this IPL to give the team from the blistering starts.
Narine, initially a tail-ender, was promoted up the order by Gautham Gambhir for his pinch-hitter prowess. This decision turned out to be a masterclass. With Chris Lynn joining him at the top, this opening pair will be one of the strongest parts of the KKR line-up.
In the 48 innings that Sunil Narine has batted for Kolkata Knight Riders, he has scored nearly 700 runs at a strike rate close to 170, and Lynn has scored 875 runs in the 28 matches that he has played in the IPL with average 35.0, and strike rate of 141.
If this duo fires, and with Andre Russell, Robin Uthappa, and Dinesh Karthik to follow even 250 is within their reach.
