Shubman Gill and Sunil Narine – Kolkata Knight Riders
While Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) released the Australian cricketer Chris Lynn, who was their consistent performer as an opening batsman, Caribbean all-rounder Sunil Narine and Indian youngster Shubman Gill are likely to be the first choice opening partner for them in the IPL 2020.
Narine has evolved as a proper all-rounder by improving his batting quality along with maintaining his impressive bowling skills. As an opener, the left-handed batsman has the ability to provide a good firing start in the mandatory powerplay. On the other hand, Gill is confident in the opening batting role and he proved it during the last IPL season.
English cricketer Tom Banton can be another option for the opening pair position for the KKR in the IPL 2020.
