An asset to any T20 team, Andre Russell on his day has the ability to destroy any serious bowling attacks. Besides that he is more than a useful bowler, even opening the bowling on quite a few occasions for his national team and the franchises he plays for. He is a skiddy customer and can really bowl his heart out. He is a useful bowling option for any captain.
Russell has been an inconsistent performer with the bat playing for his national team, occasionally chipping in with an innings of substance. Russell has been a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders team in the IPL and has played some whirlwind knocks for his franchise. In the last edition, his brilliant half century was vital in Kolkata Knight Riders winning a group stage match against Kings XI Punjab from a hapless situation. He has also been a partnership breaker whenever Gambhir needed wickets and has provided the team with the much-needed balance.
The Indian bowlers will look to stop the Russell onslaught in the upcoming T20 series in the US.

Arya Sekhar Chakraborty
Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
