Kolkata Knight Riders – Andre Russell
In the last IPL season (2019), Caribbean all-rounder Andre Russell played very important roles for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). He finished as the most run-scorer (510 runs) as well as most wicket-taker (11 wickets) for KKR in the IPL 2019. Due to those performances, Russell won the Most Valuable Player award in the IPL 2019.
In-form Russell can destroy his opponent single-handedly, especially as a batsman. Last year, we clearly experienced how KKR was hugely depended on Russell. Though the KKR have added some top cricketers for the IPL 2020, still Russell needs to play the key role for the KKR.
