Andre Russell

There is nothing that Andre Russell cannot do in the field particularly in a T20 game. He is one of the major reasons why the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise have been successful over the last couple of seasons.

Throughout his career in the IPL, he has been effective both with the bat and the ball. And given the conditions of Kolkata, there may be a chance that he has to spearhead the bowling attack as they have plenty of slow bowling options in their arsenal and pace battery is quite inexperienced at the IPL level.

He has bowled at the death before for the KKR side in the previous editions, but this time he might have to take the brunt of the responsibility. The fit-again Andre Russell is what required by the team right now and he might do wonders at the death if he gets the opportunity.

In his IPL career, he has so far taken 44 wickets from 50 games to go with 890 runs he has scored.

Other possible options: Sunil Narine and Lockie Ferguson
