IPL 2018: 4 batsmen who can fulfil opening duties for KKR

#1 Robin Uthappa

Uthappa would prove to be crucial for KKR this year — Uthappa will be crucial for KKR this year

The right-handed batsman from Karnataka, Robin Uthappa has been a constant figure in the KKR squad as an opener for the last few seasons. Robin has opened for KKR in the past and would like to repeat the same in the upcoming edition of the IPL.

Having played so much IPL and domestic cricket, Uthappa is a decent fit for the opening spot. In addition to that, his exquisite timing and freestyle batting make him the perfect candidate.

Currently, Uthappa is the wicket-keeper with the most number of runs in the IPL. Without Gambhir this time around, the onus would be on Uthappa to lead the top order.

T20 Numbers - Matches: 216 | Runs: 5547 | Avg: 29.34 | S/R: 134.70
