Andre Russell is a Jamaican cricketer, who plays for the West Indies cricket team at international level and for Jamaica in domestic cricket. He made his international debut as a bowler, but surprised everyone with his hard-hitting batting style. Today, Russell is one of the top all-rounders. He usually plays as a lower-middle order batsman, and is considered one of the most powerful strikers of the cricket ball among the current generation of players. His ability to rack up big runs in less number of deliveries has made him one of the top players in the ‘Indian Premier League’. In 2012, he was picked up by the ‘Delhi Daredevils,’ but he remained more of a squad player. In 2014, he was bought by ‘Kolkata Knight Riders’ and he has remained with the team since. He is one of the most coveted players in the T20 format, and plays for several T20 franchises, including the ‘Caribbean Premier League’, the ‘Indian Premier League’, the ‘Bangladesh Premier League’, the ‘Pakistan Premier League’, and the ‘Big Bash League’ in Australia. He is the only T20 bowler to have taken four wickets in four consecutive deliveries.
