5 ideal replacements for Andre Russell if he is unavailable for KKR

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

#1 David Willey

PM's XI v England
David Willey is a competitive T20 player who can change the game with both bat and ball

David Willey could prove to be the best replacement for KKR. He is an English all-rounder who is an attacking left-arm fast bowler.

He has picked 24 wickets in 20 T20Is at an economy rate of 8.6. He is also an incredible fielder who has taken some brilliant catches.

He has scored blazing 118 runs off 55 balls in a T20 victory over Worcestershire which also includes 34 runs in an over.

He also used to open for Perth Scorchers in recently completed Big Bash League. In a recent game of PM XI and England XI, he scored 79 runs off just 36 balls and also picked up three wickets.

With Willey, KKR will get a perfect T20 cricketer. An innovative player who is fiercely competitive and is capable of changing games with both bat and ball, KKR would be more than happy to have him on their side.

He could bat anywhere for the team plus he is also a very good bowler who can bowl in any situation, Willey could be the perfect addition to the KKR squad.
