#6 Russell got out for a duck on his T20I debut

We talked about Andre Russell's Test and ODI debut ahead, now we will move towards Russell's first international experience in the shortest format of the game. The Jamaican became the 46th player to represent West Indies in T20Is when he made his T20I debut versus Pakistan on April 21, 2011.

It was a one-off T20I encounter and Darren Sammy had elected to bat first at the toss. West Indies got off to a rollicking start as Lendl Simmons and Darren Bravo took the team to a stable position. West Indies were 102/1 after 12.1 overs but their innings derailed after that partnership broke.

Soon, they were reduced to 141/6 in 19 overs as a young Russell came out to bat for the first time in a T20I. Facing Wahab Riaz in the final over, Russell played two dots before handing a catch to A Rehman to end his maiden T20I innings without adding anything to the team's total.

With the ball, he conceded 28 runs in 4 wicketless overs. However, Windies won the match by 7 runs.
