#4 Aaron Finch’s fireworks (Game 3: season 2016)
While Gujarat stuck to the Dwyane Smith-Brendon McCullum pair up top for a large portion of last season, Australian opener Aaron Finch started the season as McCullum's partner. Chasing 162 to win in his side's opening game, Finch slammed a 47-ball 74 to take the Lions close to victory.
His knock was highlighted by 12 hits to the fence, few of which were deft touches rather than almighty slogs. The Australian nearly took Gujarat home before falling to Pardeep Sahu. He walked away with the Man of the Match award, though.
Finch has been coming in at No. 4 this season and it hasn't quite worked. Given Dwyane Smith's poor form, a move to the top cannot be ruled out.
