Dwayne Bravo is his teammate with 4 wickets who lies below Tahir on the table. Andre Russell, after his 2 wickets against Kings XI Punjab, also has 4 wickets in his tally now.

Russell has proved to be the most valuable player of the tournament so far. He has scored 97 runs in 2 innings along with 4 wickets. He has played two thunderous innings with the bat that have proved to be the match-winning ones for Kolkata Knight Riders.
