#AndreRussell #IPL #Westindies

1988
A world-class seam-bowling allrounder from Jamaica, Andre Russell, born today, made his first-class debut at 19 and Test debut at 22, but he will be remembered as a T20 legend, sought after by every franchise league in the world. He played a vital role in guiding West Indies to the final of the 2016 World T20, which they won. That was one of five T20 title wins for Russell that year - he was also on the winning side in the BBL, CPL, PSL and BPL. In January 2017 he hit a low ebb when he was handed a one-year suspension for a doping violation, but he returned with a bang in the 2018 IPL. In the 2019 IPL, he hit a stunning 48 off 13 balls when Kolkata Knight Riders needed 53 runs off 18. He scored more than 500 runs that season at a strike rate of over 200 and took 11 wickets at an economy of 9.5. Two years later, he recorded the CPL's fastest half-century, off 14 balls.
