IPL: Most underutilised XI in the history of the tournament
These players have gone on to shine for other teams.
6. Andre Russell (DD)
Andre Russell, who is KKR’s biggest match-winner at present, had initially started his IPL career with the DD franchise. The West Indian cricketer at that time was mainly known for his bustling pace bowling and had in between showed some glimpses of his ferocious batting.
The DD team had eventually brought him at a price tag of INR 2.26 crores in IPL 2012 but hardly had featured him in four games. Similarly in the subsequent season, Russell again played mere 3 games for DD where he scarcely could not produce anything with his both skills.
However, despite the franchise undergoing a poor run in the 2013 season, Russell was still highly underutilized especially with his bowling than his batting.
Nevertheless, in IPL 2014, the DD franchise finally took an exit from Andre Russell’s all-around services thus perfectly allowing KKR to bag their most adorable overseas cricketer to date.
