IPL 2021: Ranking all 8 teams based on their all-rounders
All-rounders have the ability to impact the game in two ways.
2. Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders arguably have the best all-rounder in the league in Andre Russell and when in full form, he is a very valuable asset. Although his batting wasn’t quite great last season, it was probably just a minor blip and one can expect him to come back with a bang. Even his bowling is quite good, and he picks up crucial wickets whilst also being effective at the death.
They even have Sunil Narine in their ranks and even though he has lost some form, he isn’t a bad option to have in the squad. Shakib al Hasan is likely to start ahead of him as the spin-bowling all-rounder and an all-round duo of him and Russell would provide immense balance to the XI as both of them are proper batsmen while also being capable of bowling 4 overs each.
They also have Ben Cutting in their squad, and he is one of the best possible backups KKR could have gotten for Andre Russell. Even Pat Cummins can be considered as an all-rounder given how he has batted for Australia in recent times. In terms of Indians, Pawan Negi and Venkatesh Iyer are their only options and they are unlikely to play many games.
