Written by Vishwas Gupta

West Indies start their World campaign against Pakistan on Friday and big hitting Andre Russell will enter into the tournament as a World Record holder. Russell comes into the World Cup with a strike rate of 130.45 – The best for any player in ODI cricket. (Min 500 balls faced)

In his 52 ODIs, Russell has scored 998 runs and is only 2 runs away from scoring 1000 ODI runs. Russell also has a good record against Pakistan in World Cup matches.

Russell smashed a 13-ball 42 with four sixes and then took three wickets as Pakistan were blown away in World Cup 2015.

The hard-hitting all-rounder was in great form in the warm-up game against New Zealand, where he scored 54 runs off just 25 balls.
