#5 Andre Russell
Andre Russell, the West Indian who was has been one of the most valuable players in the IPL was retained by the Kolkata Knight Riders and is proving his worth. Although he has not been able to do much with the ball he is looking in fine form with the bat.
In the first two games of the season, he looked furious scoring 103 runs at an astonishing strike rate of 219.14. In the game against Chennai Super Kings, he played a thunderous inning of 88 runs off 36 balls with the help of 11 huge sixes.
He failed in both the departments against the Sunrisers Hyderabad's bowling attack, but that was a rare failure and he came back strong against the Delhi Daredevils, scoring a 42 off 12 balls.
In the fantasy games, his phenomenal strike rate is a plus point in addition to the number of runs he scores. One cannot simply afford to leave Russell out of the fantasy teams throughout the season and he is surely going to emerge as one of the most valuable players this season.
