This season, Chris Lynn has batted with more responsibility. In the twelve innings so far, Lynn has scored 325 runs with a strike rate of 135.98, much lower than last year's 180.98 but his intention to stay at the crease is a positive sign for KKR.

On the other hand, Narine has been going all guns blazing and has a strike of 177.56. He has scored two half-centuries for his side and has successfully provided quick starts for his team.

If the openers bat till the end of the powerplay, then KKR can easily post a huge score on the board.
