Andre Russell will be itching to make a comeback after he was ruled out of the 2017 edition due to doping allegations. From scoring a century in just 42 balls to picking up four wickets in four balls, this man has done it all. Add to that his fielding skills, and KKR has on its hands one of the most complete cricketers in this format of the game.

Russell has plied his trade in almost every big league in the world, like the Big Bash League, the Caribbean Premier League, and the Pakistan Super League.

So little has been expressed of his talent that many still moan the fact that KKR snatched its leading wicket-taker for just Rs. 60 lakhs in 2016.
