While replying to it Russell said that he will always take Chris Gayle on the upper side. This is to notice that Russell is being proved as one of the most emerging players for Kolkata Knight Riders and he had played several interesting innings for KKR till now. This is why maybe KKR chose to retain Russell besides they didn't choose Gambhir for their team.
