Aaron Finch, the aggressive Aussie opener, has been a regular for his national side since his debut in 2013. Starting off as a middle-order batsman, he used to regularly get pushed up the order in his earlier days. Aaron Finch’s hard-hitting earned him a call up to the national team in Australia’s U-19 team for the World Cup in 2006. Since then, he has gone on to captain both the ODI and the T20 team. Now a certainty in Australia’s limited-overs teams, he has earned the no. 1 position in the T20 rankings in 2018. A consistent run-getter, he is set to represent the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the upcoming Indian Premier League season.
