IPL 2022: Best XI that can beat the champions Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans became the second team to win an IPL trophy in their very first season of the tournament.
6. Andre Russell
Andre Russell was the only limelight this season for the Kolkata Knight Riders as the franchise never looked like settling with a team until the final hours. The West Indian however, was quite consistent throughout the tournament, and no wonder, he was retained by KKR ahead of the mega auction with no second thoughts. The 34-year-old finished with 335 runs in 14 innings in the tournament this season at an average of 37.22 and a strike rate of 174.47. He scored one half-century with the highest score of unbeaten 70 and managed to win games with both bat and ball. Russell picked up 17 wickets in 14 games at an average of 16.35 with the best figures of 4 for 5. Russell has proved time to again that he is among the best all-rounders going around in T20 format, and he can provide some brutal hitting towards the back end as well. He has a big role to play in the upcoming years for KKR and he will perfectly slot in at six in this side given his prowess with both bat and ball.
