Openers:

​

#1 Brendon McCullum (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Brendon McCullum will serve RCB as an opener

'Brash' - that is the word, Brendon McCullum, easily the greatest of all the Kiwi glovesmen, and one of their finest batsmen, uses to define himself.

The explosive batsman from Dunedin has been one of the best openers in the limited overs format and especially in T20s. 

With Chris Lynn's future in IPL unknown, Brendon McCullum would be an obvious choice as an opener.

IPL Numbers- Matches: 103 | Runs: 2754 | Avg: 28.10 | S/R: 131.08 

#2 David Warner (C) (Sunrisers Hyderabad) 

​

David is the most successful SRH captain so far

David Warner has been one of the best players in T20 cricket.

Having played much of T20 cricket, Warner is one of the most experienced players to meet the format.

Warner happens to be one of the batsmen who starts the innings cautiously and builds on it brick by brick with an explosive touch to it.

Thus, the Australian has to be an ideal choice as a left-handed opener in any T20 playing XI. 

IPL Numbers- Matches: 114 | Runs: 4014 | Avg: 40.54 | S/R: 142.13
