This also makes it difficult for the management to select the playing eleven to strike the perfect balance. Aaron Finch is one of the most explosive openers in world cricket and there is no denial to that. His heroics along with Australian opener David Warner is hidden from none. RCB bought Aaron Finch in the auction last December and he seems like the missing piece in the puzzle for the team. The franchise management is yet to make the big decision of when will the batsman come out to play, at which position?<\/p>\n<p>Virat Kohli and Parthiv Patel have been the opening pair for the side in the past but shifting the best opener in the world down the under doesn\u2019t make a lot of sense. On being asked about which two batsmen will be opening for RCB, Team director Mike Hesson chose to keep his cards close to his chest.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s really interesting, I did a couple of hours of press conference but never talked about where Virat is batting or where Aaron finch is gonna bat or they\u2019re opening the batting together. In reality from a director or coach point of view we wouldn\u2019t wanna tell anybody exactly what our line-up is because that\u2019s our strategy,\u201d\u2009Hesson said in a video uploaded on RCB\u2009official\u2009Twitter handle.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The minute the team came out of a week\u2019s quarantine in Dubai, we got our Director of Cricket Operations Mike Hesson to talk about RCB\u2019s plans leading into <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IPL2020?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IPL2020<\/a> on Bold Diaries.
