The wicketkeeper -batter from Tamil Nadu can also be an option to open the innings. The right-hander opens the innings in T20 cricket, whether he plays for his state team or franchises like Dindigul Dragons and Chepauk Super Gillies in the Tamil Nadu Premier League. The Coimbatore-born is a vastly experienced player in the shortest format, having played 43 games. In these games, he has amassed 906 runs, averaging 32.35 and striking at 117.66. His strike rate doesn’t look promising but having hit 79 fours and 30 sixes tells a different story, and his ability could be well utilized by MS Dhoni, who knows how to lead his troops.
