Andre Russell smashes camera glass in Kolkata nets ahead of Mumbai game; watch video

West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell is one of the most explosive batsmen in modern-day cricket. His ability to hit the ball out of the park is unmatched, which is why he is considered as one of the most devastating batsmen in the world at the moment. Andre Russell's stunning knocks in the 2019 season for Kolkata where he single-handedly took games away from the opposition, is enough testament to his hitting prowess.
