ICC World Twenty20 India 2016: Final - England v West Indies — Andre Russell was injured in a recent match against Karachi Kings in PSL 2018

#3 Moises Henriques

England v Australia- ICC Champions Trophy — Henriques is a good option as he provides a great balance in the team

Moises Henriques is the most underrated player to play in the IPL. He is a good all-rounder who has picked 38 wickets in 57 matches and scored 969 runs with an average of 28.5.

He played a pivotal role in the Sunrisers Hyderabad team which won its first IPL title in 2016. He served as a good middle order batsman who was consistent at the No. 3 position.

He was also an effective middle over bowler for the team. It was a surprise that Hyderabad didn't get him back.

KKR could use Henriques as an all-rounder who could bat at middle order and could bowl good four overs for them.

KKR could also use him as a lower order batsman who could finish the game with his big hitting.

About the author

Cricket was always like a religion for me since my childhood. It first caught my attention in the Kolkata test vs Australia and when South Africa chased down 434 against Australia, my fascination for the game has reached new heights.
My current drug is league cricket especially IPL and CPL. I loved when these formats proved every critics wrong.
I also love to analyse the game from data point of view and I would like to thank Sportskeeda for giving me this opportunity for expressing views on the game an its future.
