Andre Russell has made a name for himself in the IPL by playing some incredible knocks for the Kolkata Knight Riders. The hard-hitting batsman from Jamaica has the ability to turn any match on its head if he spends some time in the middle. In the T20 format, especially, he plays a very important role in the lower-middle order as he can start tonking the balls to the stands from the very beginning of his innings. 

He arrived in the IPL when he was picked up by Delhi Daredevils in 2012, but with minimum returns, he was let go of. KKR jumped on the opportunity and signed him ahead of the 2014 IPL. Ever since then, he has been a part of their core and has played many important roles in their team. 

If we look at his stats, there will be a strike rate that might surprise a lot of people, but it is just a representation of the destruction which he can cause as a player. He has played 74 matches in the league and scored 1517 runs with a strike rate of 182.33. In the 2021 IPL, he would be expected to deliver with his bat.
