2. Andre Russell
KKR management retained Andre Russell before the IPL Auction along with his West Indian teammate Sunil Narine.
The West Indies’ big-hitting all-rounder has turned out to be a real game-changer for KKR over the years making him a fan favorite as well. Russell flourished in the 2015 season scoring 326 runs with an overwhelming strike rate of 192.89. He carried his good form into the 2016 season where he was particularly impressive with the ball, claiming 15 wickets in 12 matches.
The West Indian has also been part of the other prominent T20 leagues all over the world such as the Big Bash, Bangladesh Premier League, and Pakistan Premier League.
Russel ability to influence the game makes him a strong contender for the captaincy of the squad.
