IPL 2019: What should be KKR's ideal playing XI

#2 Chris Lynn

Lynn is one of the most destructive batsmen in T20s

Chris Lynn is one of the most attacking batsmen in the world. The Australian cricketing world fondly calls his aggressive batting style as 'Lynnsanity'. However, the top order batsman has never impressed at the International level having disappointing runs in both ODIs and T20Is.

Lynn, on the other end, is a beast in franchise-based cricket. His effortless six hitting abilities make the bowlers fear him. He has played 144 T20s so far in his career scoring close to 4000 runs at an impressive average and strike rate of 32.95 and 142.58 respectively.

The right-handed batsman opened all the 16 innings for KKR last season scoring 491 runs with three fifties. His partnership will Narine is one of the most entertaining aspects of IPL.

#3 Shubman Gill

Gill will look to play up the order for KKR this time

Shubman Gill has grown in stature from a star U-19 batsman to a potential candidate for the Indian top-order slot in a span of one year. KKR did a smart move by buying Gill for a rather bargain amount of 1.8 crore INR last season.

Despite playing in the lower-middle-order slot, the starlet improvised well and scored runs at an impressive average and strike-rate of 33.83 and 146.6 last season. However, Gill should come at the top to exhibit his true potential.

Dubbed as future Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill is all set to rock the IPL world this season.
