IPL 2019, Match 1, CSK vs RCB: 5 things to expect from the opener 

#4 Lots of big hitting from both sides

Will he show his potential this IPL?

T20 is all about big hitting and there is no better side to do that than RCB. However, for some reasons, even with all firepower in their arsenal, they have not been able to conquer the IPL over the past 11 seasons.

Going into the new edition of IPL, they have added an exciting prospect for future in Shimron Hetmyer. The attacking southpaw impressed everyone when on a tour to India in 2018. He will be a key player for them. And then, there are usual suspects from both the teams in the form of Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Shane Watson, Dwayne Bravo and AB de Villiers who add frenzy to this contest.

When the opener gets underway in the hot and humid Chennai, a lot of sixes along with the whistle podu chants can be expected for sure. It would just be a perfect start to the tournament.
