The opening combination is key to the success of a T20 Team. If the openers can set the tone in the powerplay, it goes a long way in helping the team win the match. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three teams with the best opening combination for IPL 2025.
1) Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals did not sign a replacement for Jos Buttler at IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. This means that they will have Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson open the batting.
Both these players are current openers for Team India in T20Is. They complement each other very well and hence, they take a good rank here.
2) Royal Challengers Bengaluru have a top opening combination for IPL 2025
RCB is one of the teams with the best opening combination for IPL 2025. Virat Kohli won the Orange Cap last season and did well as an opener.
Phil Salt will be ideal for the Chinnaswamy Track. His power and intent will help RCB get quick starts and also will complement Virat well.
3) Sunrisers Hyderabad
Last season, we saw how successful SRH was with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma at the top of the order. Hence, they will be ranked as a top opening pair for the next season.
The challenge for them will be to take on the opposition teams who will now have all the data against them. It will be interesting to see how they go about.
