The swashbuckling batsman can tear down opposition bowling at will

Andre Russell is one of the finest all-rounders in world cricket in the last couple of years. He did not contribute enough in his debut season in 2014 as a KKR player, but scored well in the following editions, barring the 2017 season.

His ability to hit the ball with brute force and catapult it beyond the boundary ropes for massive sixes, makes him a dangerous batsman. He has been consistent with the ball as well and has breached the 10-wicket mark twice in 2014 and 2015.

He has done well in both the bowling and batting departments this season, scoring 249 runs and taking 10 wickets so far. If Russell has a good match with the bat and the ball, KKR win the match more often than not.

KKR will want him to fire on all cylinders if they are to win the title.
