IPL 2018: 5 costliest players whose participation in the tournament remains unsure

#4 Andre Russell – Kolkata Knight Riders – INR 8.50 crore

Russell provides KKR with both runs and wickets

All-rounder Andre Russell, who was retained for INR 8.50 crore ahead of the auctions, was to make a comeback for the side after missing the last season due to a ban he was serving. However, his hamstring injury during the ongoing PSL has come as a huge blow to the franchise who have their biggest weapon in the West Indian.

Not only has he been ruled out from the rest of the PSL, he is also racing against time to regain fitness for the IPL. He is very crucial down the order, can chip in with some big shots and has won several matches for KKR.
