IPL 2018: 5 all-rounders who can set the IPL on fire

#3 Andre Russell

Andre Russell, the West Indian all-rounder has been the most valuable player in the IPL. Russell has been a mainstay in the Kolkata Knight Riders team in the previous seasons and has proved to be a match winner for them.

Russell who represented Delhi Daredevils earlier was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders in 2014 and has been retained by the franchise every single season since then. Apart from being a power-hitter, Russell is a wicket-taking bowler who can fetch wickets at the right moments of the match.

Russell's strike rate of 173.41 is the highest in the tournament and this is enough to define his capabilities as a batsman. He returned to professional cricket earlier this year following a one year ban imposed on him but has not been able to play much cricket after returning. It will be interesting to see how Russell performs for the team that have invested a big amount in him.
