Chris Gayle might be the star of the Caribbean, but in terms smacking the ball with venom, Andre Russell is just as strong if not stronger. However, in terms of being rated, Russell way behind his West Indian team-mates.

His best game of the tournament came against India, where he came down and smashed the final blow when he scored a 20-ball 43 to give West Indies the enhancement that was required to overcome the required-run-rate obstacle.

He can stay calm and hit huge sixes in situations of utmost pressure, which is what makes him such a special player. It could safely be said that he was the most effective all-rounder in the tournament, taking 9 wickets while also scoring 91 runs. He might not have scored many runs overall, but his individual contributions played a significant role in his team’s fortunes.
