3 players who could become the next Andre Russell in IPL
Andre Russell recently retired from the IPL after spending 12 seasons at Kolkata Knight Riders and winning two titles. He was subsequently roped in by KKR as their Power Coach for IPL 2026.
Cameron Green
There is plenty of excitement surrounding Cameron Green ahead of the IPL 2026 mini-auction on December 16. The Australian all-rounder is set to return to the cash-rich league next year after missing the last two seasons. Green is an all-format player for Australia. He can bowl around 140 kph and bat at the top, middle, and also down the order.
KKR, who have the highest purse heading into the auction, are the favourites to acquire the services of Green. He could be the ideal player to continue the legacy of seam-bowling all-rounders at KKR after Jacques Kallis and Russell. Green has an outstanding IPL record, having scored 707 runs in 28 innings at an average of 41.59 and a strike rate of 153.70. With the ball, he has accounted for 16 wickets at an economy rate of 9.08 from 29 matches. Many believe that the 26-year-old will win the highest bid in the IPL 2026 auction.
