This is undoubtedly the easiest pick. Dinesh Karthik and Andre Russell formed a deadly middle order combination and when one was taking time to settle, the other used to go after the bowlers and keep the runs coming. Karthik, who was the captain of KKR last season, was able to shift gears at the blink of an eye and adapted himself well according to the situation.

He's now in the thick of the action for India and is in contention for a World Cup spot. With ample experience and a wide range of shots, Karthik is one player who the bowlers can't take lightly.

Andre Russell needn't middle the ball for it to go for a six but has can just muscle the ball for a six. One of the most brutal and devastating strikers of the ball, Russell's power and strong wrists enable him to smash bowlers all around the park as soon as he gets in the groove. CSK, KXIP and SRH were among those who were at the receiving end of a hiding from him and he will be extremely vital to finish off games for KKR in this season as well.
