#2 Sunil Narine
Sunil Narine is the best option to open the bowling attack as well as the batting attack and having him in the playing XI will be very productive. Narine, who is currently out of his national team, was earlier seen as a right-arm off-break bowler only.
It was the batting he displayed for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL that changed everything and brought his batting ability in the limelight. Now, he is seen as an aggressive batsman as well who is capable of giving quick and big starts to his team. He is so good with the bat that now he opens the innings for KKR.
The 26-year-old has the record of bowling a maiden super-over which shows his class in the bowling department. In T20s, delivering a maiden super-over is a big achievement as delivering an economical over is in itself a huge task for bowlers.
He made his place in the West Indies squad when he picked all ten wickets in the trial match and today he has played 299 T20s in which he has more than 1694 runs with 6 fifties to his name. With the ball, he has picked 342 wickets with 5/19 being his best performance.
