Three days and 3 swashbuckling performances by West Indian players.

#2 Andre Russell:(41 runs off 12 balls)

The burly all-rounder from West Indies

The all-rounder was one of the two players to be retained by KKR. Many experts debated this decision and thought it was a poor call from the Kolkatta team. In the 4 matches that KKR have played, he has vindicated the management's decision by playing a crucial role with both bat and ball.

His innings against Delhi Daredevils was at some other level. In just 12 balls he smashed 41 runs and that performance took the game away from Delhi. The sequence of scores for 12 balls was 1 6 2 6 6 0 1 6 1 6 6. During his innings, he dealt only in sixes and no boundaries were hit.

The burly all-rounder considers Chris Gayle as his hero and his sixes remind us of his hero. He has made the role of the finisher his own. With his powerful hitting and economical bowling, he will definitely be one of the contenders for the most valuable player of the tournament.
