World Cup 2019, England vs West Indies: 5 power hitters to watch out for

#4 Andre Russell

Russell's pyrotechnics will be crucial for West Indies

In the world of power hitters, there is one name that goes around in a handful of lists and that name is Andre Russell. The brawny West Indian had a remarkable IPL campaign in 2019 where he terrorised bowling attacks with his incredible strength.

Strength played its part but Andre Russell's timing and efficiency was something that made him such a valuable asset for the Kolkata Knight Riders. Prior to the World Cup, Russell's addition came as pleasant news for the West Indies cricket fans, with the big hitter certain to contribute in the death overs.

Russell, with a strike rate of 130.54 will be looking to replicate his IPL heroics in the World Cup and help his nation go far in the tournament. A big inning has been a long time coming in the West Indies colours and the upcoming clash against England might well be the occasion where Andre Russel unleashes his prime form.
