3. ANDRE RUSSELL
Andre Russell, the superstar all-rounder for the Kolkata Knight Riders, is having a fantastic comeback season in the IPL. Andre Russell, known for his destructive batting ability, is also a front-line bowler for KKR. And, while he isn’t a four-over regular seamer, KKR has found a way to get the most out of him with the ball despite his shoulder injury issues.
With 1879 runs, Andre Russell has the greatest strike rate of any player with more than 1500 IPL runs, at 178.61. Russell has the ability to make a significant difference in a short period of time or deliveries. KKR’s trust and faith in him inspired the all-rounder to return better and stronger than before.
He had a fantastic IPL season in both 2018 and 2019. Russell has given his all for the franchise over the years, and he remains their most important player.
Though. It will be interesting to see if KKR gives Andre Russell the captaincy for IPL 2023.
