Andre Russell is one of the players who can turn the table single-handedly from any situation. His power hitting ability is now known to everyone. He has been in a great form this year playing for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). He has already won three ‘Man of the Match’ awards out of five games so far which they have played in the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Kolkata still have to play nine games in the round-robin stage and everyone knows how dangerous can he be. On Tuesday, Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni also thought the process of how to stop this power hitter. His batting impressed everyone and silenced his opponents. His teammate Lockie Ferguson have already mentioned that in an exclusive interview that he was speechless while speaking about Russell’s batting to The Times of India (TOI).

“It’s too tough to put in words for a guy like that (Andre Russell). He has been magnificent this season. He has been hitting runs at crucial moments,” the New Zealand cricketer said which was quoted.

Russell has amassed 257 runs in five matches at an average of 128.50 and the strike-rate of 212.40, including 17 boundaries and 25 sixes; which is the highest by any batsman in the list of top 10 highest run-getter in IPL so far. Ferguson further added that Russell has the ability to change the game at any time. Calling him a “real game changer”, Ferguson said he is happy that he doesn’t have to bowl him and he has never seen someone like Russell who can hit sixes from the very beginning.
