IPL 2019: KKR vs SRH - Predicted overseas players for the Kolkata Knight Riders

#2. Andre Russell

Andre Russell

Andre Russell is one of the most feared batsmen in the world. The Windies all-rounder has the ability to play some blistering cameos in the slog overs to take the game away from the opposition. If other batsmen can give a good start to KKR, Russell can take the innings forward from there.

SRH has a very good bowling attack, but when Russell is in the mood, it is almost impossible to stop him. He can even add more than 80 runs in the last five overs itself which can be the deciding factor in the close matches. He is a brilliant fielder too, and you can rely on him to save a few runs in every match.

The West Indian all-rounder can also be a very handy option with the ball, as he can pick a few wickets here and there. All this combined makes him a perfect package for the shortest format of the game.
