Andre Russel

He is called the peddler of entertainment in the current T20 cricket. He proved once again that the title is not wrong. Six sixes off six balls! This time, Andre Russell made an incredible feat. Even against the team of the universe boss Gail?

The all-rounder of West Indies has also batted aggressively in the 10-over ‘6ixty’ tournament. Russell’s devastating form came against the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots for the Trinbago Knight Riders in his home country’s franchise league.

Russell scored 72 runs off just 24 balls in the match. Where he hit six consecutive sixes. Although not in the same over, he hit six consecutive sixes in two overs. With this, Russell became the seventh batsman in the world and the third West Indies batsman to hit six sixes in a row. However, he could not touch Herschel Gibbs, Gary Sobers, Yuvraj Singh.

In the seventh over of this 10-over match, Russell hit four consecutive sixes off Dominic Drakes. In the next over, he smashed the first two balls of John-Rus Jagesar to cross the boundary.

Meanwhile, West Indies will form the team for the upcoming T20 World Cup based on the performance of the ‘6ixty’ tournament. So Russell, who wants to win the World Cup for the country, is targeting this tournament. Russell was preceded by batsmen Gary Sobers, Herschelle Gibbs, Ravi Shastri, Yuvraj Singh, Kieron Pollard and Jaykaran Malhotra who hit six sixes.

In the interview, Russell talked about winning T20 World Cup again for the country. Let’s see if the Windies board fulfills Russell’s request. Russell’s relationship with the board is like a snake-mongoose!
