KKR will begin its campaign against Mumbai Indians, who lost their IPL opener to Chennai Super Kings on Saturday. With a strike rate of 186.41 and an average of 33.33 over in an IPL career covering eight years, Russell is one of the most sought-after strikers in the league. He scored 510 runs at 56.66 and struck the ball at 204.81 in IPL 2019. In addition to the impressive record, he managed to take 11 wickets as well. KKR failed to leave a mark in the 2019 season as the Shah Rukh Khan co-owned team stood fifth after winning six and losing eight of their 14 matches. But the team seems ready to bounce back in action with its slogan 'KKR Hai Taiyaar'.
