Andre Russell
The man from Jamaica has now become one of the most sought after players around the world in this format. A hard hitting batsman who can tear apart opposition bowlers, Russell has won games with his bat from seemingly hopeless situations. Playing for the Sydney Thunders in the Big Bash League, Russell enthralled the audience, and he has had his moments of glory in the IPL as well.
He is also a fast bowler who runs in and bowls fast and mean deliveries, and this adds another wing to his prowess. A brilliant athlete, Dre Russ as he loves to be called will be one of the many players from the Caribbean to watch out for.
In the 22 matches he has played in the IPL, Russell has smashed 386 runs at an average of 25 and a whopping strike rate nudging 178. With the ball too he has proven his worth as he has snapped up 16 wickets.
