#1 Andre Russell is coming back after a doping ban

Arguably the best all-rounder in T20 cricket, Andre Russell took the cricketing world by storm when he played around the world for various T20 franchises. However, it all came to an end when the West Indies all-rounder was banned for one year from cricket for a doping violation. His ban ended on January 30, 2018, and was retained by Kolkata Knight Riders for a huge money to play in IPL 2018.
He will be playing at the highest level after almost 18 months and how well he can play depends on a lot of factors. He lacks match sharpness at the moment and it will be hard for him to reprise the form that made him one of the best T20 players in the world. Cameron Delport is a decent backup option but might not be good enough to win the title for KKR.
