The Andre Russell factor

The big-hitting all-rounder from West Indies has created headlines in the IPL so far. Andre Russell has been a major factor in the IPL for Kolkata Knight Riders and he has proven his worth with two big knocks. He has the skills to bowl his full quota of four overs and have a blast while batting.

Russell’s 88* against Chennai Super Kings was an inning to behold as he rescued the team from a grim situation of 89/5 to a score above 200. In the last match against Delhi Daredevils, he scored 41 from 11 balls and took the important wicket of Shreyas Iyer also. Russell will be the key player of this match.
