Defending champions Chennai Super Kings will take on KKR at the Wankhede stadium on March 26. The 15th edition of the IPL is set to begin with a blockbuster clash between last year's finalists. It has been a trend in the IPL that whenever a big player leaves Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and goes onto play for another franchise, he scores heaps of runs and KKR fans would be hoping that this trend continues and the Australia captain gives them explosive starts throughout the IPL. He smashed 172 runs against Zimbabwe off just 76 balls. Finch holds the record for the highest individual score in T20Is. However, these numbers don't do justice to his ability with the bat.
