IPL 2018: 5 pinch hitting bowlers who can open the innings like Sunil Narine

#3 Chris Jordan - Sunrisers Hyderabad

Chris Jordan is a powerful batsman

The Barbadian who shifted to England on scholarship, Chris Jordan is not just a sharp-witted bowler but a very handy batsman as well. He can smash the ball out of the park at will. Jordan's batting against the bowling of Dwayne Bravo where he scored 26 of an over showed how hard and clean he can hit the ball. He also has a first class 100 to his name.

The English consider him as a brilliant death bowler and a batsman who can wield the willow like a blade. Although Wridhiman Saha as an opener is not a bad choice, Jordan can be tried on batting friendly wickets to make full use of the powerplay overs.
