6. Kolkata Knight Riders: Andre Russell

The mighty Andre Russell has often proved to be hazardous for opposition teams. His ability to hit long sixes at will completely change the momentum of the match.

The Kolkata Knight Riders will most probably be without the services of their Skipper Eoin Morgan. Which makes Russell’s role in the middle order even more important. KKR are placed at seventh position in the points. Only Nitish Rana had a fairly good run in the first phase, while the rest others found it difficult to get going.

The Kolkata Knight Riders will back the likes of Shubman Gill and Andre Russell to change their fortunes in the UAE leg of the Indian Premier League 2021.
