5 players who used coloured bats in recent years

#3 Andre Russell

The West Indian power-hitting batsman played with an outrageous bat in the 2016/17 edition of the BBL. He batted with a black bat that had a pink handle. The colour of the bat was enough to attract attention, leaving everyone, from fans to commentators amazed.

Playing for Sydney Thunder against Sydney Sixers in the season opener of the tournament, he managed to score just 9 runs in 7 balls. Later, his bat drew a huge controversy as the black colour from the bat left marks on the ball.

Soon, the use of coloured bats became the topic of discussion and Cricket Australia disapproved of the bat used by Russell. However, his bat was finally approved for playing again after it was modified by laminating it with cover.
