RCB's need for a proper opener was evident last season as Kohli struggled to find his feet juggling between the opening and No.3 positions. With a rather huge purse, they'll be looking to get a strong opener, someone like Chris Gayle and one player they should have their eyes on is Chris Lynn. The Aussie opener was surprisingly released by KKR after a decent season with the bat and is sure to become a big target for all the teams.

He was the top run-scorer in the T10 League scoring a whopping 371 runs in just 8 matches at a mind-blowing strike-rate of 236.30 and was adjudged the Player of The Tournament.
With more still to come as he's to play for Brisbane Heat in the BBL, Lynn's form can just get better and better. This fiery opener is capable of playing monstrous innings and is similar to Chris Gayle in many ways.
While the bidding is sure to go high, RCB have been known to go to any extent to get the players they want and they should do so and get Chris Lynn into their team.
