5 finishers of IPL 2018

#1 Andre Russell

Russell can destroy any bowling attack with his power hitting

Andre Russell will make a comeback in IPL after missing the last edition due to the doping scandal. KKR missed his services last year and they couldn't reach the finals. Russell is currently one of the most explosive batsmen in the world and when he is in full flow, no boundary is big enough for him to clear.

The big Jamaican has an exceptional strike rate of 173.41 and his brute strength can help KKR get vital runs at the back of the innings. In his many match-winning innings that he has played for KKR, the one he played against KXIP in 2015 is the most memorable. KKR needed a target of 155 but were in a spot of bother as they were 60 for 5 after 8 overs.

Russell came to the crease and changed the complexion of the game as struck an unbeaten 66 off 36 balls and won the game for the Knight Riders. Russell is certainly one of those batsmen that the opposition will want to get rid of early, because if he gets set then he can make a mockery of any bowling-attack with his fierce batting.
