Through the current Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) season, everyone has seen glimpses of the vintage Andre Russell but the all-rounder has not yet had the kind of impact on the team that he would have hoped for. The West Indies international has been performing with the ball when called upon but with the bat, he has not yet had a good impact despite one or two powerful innings.
The task of stopping the tall power-hitting all-rounder would be given to Ravi Bishnoi. Similar to Russell, Bishnoi has not yet had a great season and his poor run has cost him his place in the T20 World Cup squad for Team India. However, the bowler is known for amazing comebacks and would want to scalp the prized wicket of the opposition batter.
