IPL 2020: 5 players who can win the Orange Cap this year

#5 Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch is in the form of his life in white-ball cricket at the moment. It was only a couple of days ago that he was named the ODI cricketer of the year at Cricket Australia’s annual awards. The Australian limited overs captain will be playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2020.

ch, who is a natural opener, was tried in the middle order by his previous franchise Kings XI Punjab - and the experiment didn’t work. The 33-year-old couldn’t find his feet batting at No. 5-6, and it is unlikely that he will bat in the middle order for RCB.

Finch will probably be given the opening slot alongside Parthiv Patel, and he will have the opportunity to take advantage of the fielding restrictions upfront.

While the Aussie is very efficient against pace, he plays a bit of a high-risk game against spin. He doesn’t use his feet much and looks to go across the line most of the time, from the crease itself. However, his hand-eye coordination is so good that he generally manages to get himself into the right position to make a decent connection.

Finch’s recent form certainly makes him one of the players to watch out for in IPL 2020.
