India vs West Indies 2016 T20: 5 players who make West Indies hard to beat

#3 Andre Russel’s all round abilities

Russell’s all-round abilities will provide the Windies with the much-needed stability in the upcoming T20 series

An asset to any T20 team, Andre Russell on his day has the ability to destroy any serious bowling attacks. Besides that he is more than a useful bowler, even opening the bowling on quite a few occasions for his national team and the franchises he plays for. He is a skiddy customer and can really bowl his heart out. He is a useful bowling option for any captain.

Russell has been an inconsistent performer with the bat playing for his national team, occasionally chipping in with an innings of substance. Russell has been a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders team in the IPL and has played some whirlwind knocks for his franchise. In the last edition, his brilliant half century was vital in Kolkata Knight Riders winning a group stage match against Kings XI Punjab from a hapless situation. He has also been a partnership breaker whenever Gambhir needed wickets and has provided the team with the much-needed balance.

The Indian bowlers will look to stop the Russell onslaught in the upcoming T20 series in the US.
