Top 5 all-rounders of the IPL 

#1 Andre Russell

The big Jamaican is probably the best all-rounder in the IPL considering his match-winning abilities. He was banned from playing the last season of the IPL, but this year he'll be back in purple again as he has been retained by his franchise KKR.

He was at his best in IPL 2016 and 2015 and won games for his side with both bat and ball. He is someone who can bowl at a brisk pace striking up front with the new ball and can also execute some accurate yorkers towards the death.

With the bat, he has won plenty of games for his side and changed the course of some games where KKR was down and out with no hope of winning. He is a muscular bloke who is known for his colossal hitting and can clear the park without making much of an effort. If he gets going with the bat, he can make a mockery of any target and can destroy any bowling attack on his day. In just 34 IPL games he has already hit 37 sixes and has a spectacular strike rate of 173 plus.
