The veteran West Indien all-rounder, Andre Russell is one of the cricketers who are quite difficult to intimidate, especially when it comes to batting, but during the ongoing an Abu Dhabi T10 League match between Northern Warriors and Bengal Tigers, Russell was on his all fours when leg spinner Qais Ahmed bowled a special variation – a bouncer.

Northern Warriors’ batsman, Russell was batting on 11 when Ahmed pulled out the surprise and the well-directed bouncer had Russell rushing for cover. The big-hitting West Indian reacted on time and just about managed to pull himself out of the line of the ball and fell to the ground later.

The fiery all-rounder was quick to call for a helmet after the delivery even as the Afghanistan spinner apologized for bowling a bouncer. It seemed like a pre-planned strategy from the bowler as the wicketkeeper, Tom Morre, was in a position to collect the bouncer, and he collected the delivery without any surprise and with much ease, and even attempted to stump Russell when the later was falling over. Here is the video of the ferocious delivery:
