IPL 2022: Best Overseas XI - Week Five
The race for playoffs seems to be getting all the more interesting, with all teams but Mumbai Indians effectively in contention.
6. Andre Russell
The hard hitter from Jamaica has had a mixed season so far. This week was more of the same, as he performed exceedingly well in one match but failed miserably in the other.
He had a match to remember against the Gujarat Titans, both with bat and ball. With the ball, he bowled just one over but managed to take four wickets in those six deliveries, thereby becoming the only fast bowler in IPL history to pick up four wickets in an over. While chasing, he held Kolkata Knight Riders‘ (KKR) hopes alive till the final over but holed out to Ferguson. Nevertheless, he scored 48(25), which included a four and six towering sixes.
Although he failed to open his account against DC, he still had a week to remember. Players like him are a real asset to their team, as they can win matches on their own. KKR would be hoping for a string of good performances from their star all-rounder if they are to stay relevant in the competition this year.
