IPL 2019: 5 Best death bowlers this season till now

#5 Andre Russell - KKR

Andre Russell has been in marauding form this IPL with the bat and bowl

With big biceps, a quirky hairstyle and all the confidence in the world - the West Indian and KKR superstar - Andre Russell is in marauding form this IPL, especially with the bat.

Rusell can not only hit sixes with metronomic consistency but also bowl quick yorkers with the same consistency in the death overs. With a relatively shorter and slower run-up, Russell is still able to generate speeds in excess of 140 kmph regularly. His primary death bowling weapons include quick yorkers and on-the-chest short deliveries cramping batsmen for room.

Russell's bowling has been overshadowed by his sensational batting performances. He has bowled really well especially in the death overs, picking up five wickets in four matches.

Like his batting, KKR would be hoping to see some fiery bowling performances as well from Russell.
