5 Players who could open the batting for CSK
2) Murali Vijay
The right-handed batsman from Chennai, Murali Vijay, has been a great opening batsman for the Chennai franchise, having also plied his trade successfully with KXIP in the last few seasons.
Considered as primarily a Test player, Vijay has displayed his hitting ability very ably in the T20 format, using his trademark flick to good effect against the quicker bowlers and using his feet against the slower bowlers.
He has done great job while opening for CSK in the previous seasons. He times the ball very well and plays consistent cricket. He was the highest run-getter in the 2010 Champions League in South Africa which CSK won.
He also scored 95 runs off 52 balls in 2011 edition final against RCB which helped CSK to lift the trophy. With such an amazing record while opening, it seems like Vijay could be the first choice opener for the side.
