Andre Russell is the most vital cog in the KKR setup. He bats mercilessly, bowls his heart out and is electric in the field. He has been brilliant so far with the bat which reflects in the batting charts for KKR where he occupies the second spot with his tally of 207 runs from seven games. His hitting has been murderous and strikes fear in the minds of opposition bowlers.

The worrying aspect of his performance in the tournament has been his bowling which currently is lacking penetration. He has bowled just a little more than fifteen overs in the tournament and has picked up only two wickets at a horrible average of 84. If KKR aspire to be in the final four after the league stage, Russell needs to step up in the bowling front because he is a wicket-taking option upfront for the KKR camp.
