IPL 2020: Best XI of KXIP, KKR, RR and DC for the All Stars Game
If the recent reports are considered, one of the teams are likely to be formed by combining players from the franchises located in the North and East of India.
7. Andre Russell (Kolkata Knight Riders)
On his day, Andre Russell can tear any bowling attack apart into shreds. Even his mis-timed strokes seem to land in the stands more often than not. Last season, he seemed to wage lone battles, and at times even emerging triumphant. For a chunk of the season, Russell had the task of keeping up with an asking around 15.
Batting mostly at six or even seven, he got 510 runs at an average of 56.66. The Jamaican plundered those runs at a strike-rate of 204.81 with 52 sixes to his name. By the time, KKR promoted their most prolific batter up the order, the team was on the verge of getting eliminated before the playoffs.
In the next season, KKR would be better if they don’t send Dre-Russell lower than number five. Russell will also get a chance to breathe with Morgan in the line-up. Dre-Russ offers the complete flexibility with his hitting prowess and also can be a handy bowler who can chip in with few overs.
