IPL history : 9 dream opening combinations we never got to see

#6 Kane Williamson and Gautam Gambhir

The two men who taught the world that T20 is not all about big-hitters

Kane Williamson is one of the calmest captains the cricket universe has ever seen in the IPL. Apart from his captaincy skills, Kane is known for his unmatched consistency in this format. Despite him not being a power hitter, the Kiwi knows how to pace his game, how to turn the momentum and how to score boundaries at the right time. It is his supreme knowledge of the game which took Sunrisers Hyderabad to the IPL final last year.

Gautam Gambhir is another individual who does not hit sixes too frequently yet manages to outshine others in the T20 format. His temperament and stroke playing abilities make him a reliable opener in any format of the game. The Delhi boy had led Kolkata Knight Riders from the front in the team's two title victories in 2012 and 2014.

Looking at the similar nature of playing shared by Williamson and Gambhir, this pair would prove to be the most temperamental pair in the IPL.
