On his day, Andre Russell is a beast. The fact of the matter is that the West Indian all-rounder can destroy any team on his own. He is a powerful hitter and an accurate bowler. This adds value to any team that he plays for. Such is the fear that he puts into his opponents when on song. Keeping that in mind, Mitchell Starc realized that in a recent game between the West Indies and Australia when Russell hit him out of the park.
The KKR fans on Social Media absolutely loved every minute of it. Some even called it the perfect revenge by the Kolkata Knight Riders man against a player who just let them down.

What great shots by Andre Russell. The crowds and the fans at home would have surely loved it. It is good to see the big man regaining some fitness and form, ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup. All eyes will be on that international tournament. Let’s wait and watch whether the West Indies can make a real impact in the competition or not.
What Happened In The First T20I Between West Indies And Australia?
Despite the brilliant knock by Andre Russell, Obed McCoy, who picked up four wickets for the home side was given the Man Of The Match award. His brilliant performance sealed the fate of the home team, who were able to beat the Aussies. It was a great win and the Windies will now want to build momentum heading into the next match.
They will be keen on overpowering this Australian side and securing a series win. Every game from now until the end of the T20 World Cup at the international level is a test. The teams want to build some form and momentum and make an impact in the tournament.
Keeping that in mind, this is a great chance for the likes of Andre Russell and co. to make a name for themselves and strike fear into their opponents while they are at it. It could be what is needed to win the upcoming competition, which the West Indies team has already won twice.
