IPL 2019: Possible openers for each IPL side

#5 Chennai Super Kings - Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu

Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu

The former Australian cricketer, Shane Watson and the 33-year-old, Ambati Rayudu have proven their match-winning abilities in the previous edition of the Indian Premier League. Both the openers were in outstanding form as they were leading the chart of most runs for the CSK franchise in 2018.

While Ambati Rayudu amassed 602 runs from 16 innings at an average of 43 which included three fifties and a magnificent century, Shane Watson accumulated 555 runs from 15 innings at an average of about 40, including two fifties and two centuries.

When they have both Rayudu and Watson in the squad, they will not try to change the opening combination in the upcoming edition of the most successful T20 league. Both the CSK openers would look to replicate the same performance in the IPL 2019 season.
