IPL 2020: 5 overseas openers KKR could target at the auction

#2 Colin Munro

Colin Munro

Although Delhi Capitals released Colin Munro, the Knight Riders could be interested in the player because of their understanding of his game. Since 2016, Munro has been a headliner for KKR's Trinbago team. Notably, in the 2018 season, Munro was their leading run-scorer (567).

The left-hander has scored more than 1500 runs in the four years of his association with the Trinbago team. The Knight Riders management could well decide to test their luck with Munro in the IPL too.

#1 Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch is the first player in IPL history to have played for seven different teams, which shows how much the franchises value him. Such an impressive track record suggests that Finch has the potential to get numerous bids in the 2020 auction.

Even KKR would be interested in the explosive Australian opener, considering he had a fruitful 2019 World Cup where he scored 507 runs in 10 innings and took his team to the semi-finals. If the need arises, Finch could even step in and captain the Knight Riders team.
