IPL 2026 Auction: 3 teams that could start a bidding war for Andre Russell
Andre Russell made his debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2012, as he played for Delhi Capitals (now Delhi Daredevils). After spending 11 seasons at KKR, he has been released.
1. Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have the third-highest purse heading into the IPL 2026 mini-auction. They have INR 25.5 crore in their kitty. They have played an ultra-aggressive brand of cricket since head coach Daniel Vettori and captain Pat Cummins joined forces. The Orange Army has amassed scores of 250-plus for fun in the last couple of seasons.
Russell's breathtaking batting will suit the SRH line-up, making it only stronger. Imagine a batting department comprising Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, and Andre Russell. Aniket Verma also played some magnificent cameos last year. The Jamaican cricketer could provide the firepower necessary at the back end, helping SRH finish games single-handedly.
