T20 League-wise Best XI of the year
Nowadays, many players play for more than three or four teams as well in a year apart from their national side.
7. Andre Russell (IPL, BPL, CPL, PSL)
If there is one player that every T20 team wants, then it has to be Andre Russell. The West Indian all-rounder can have an impact in all three departments and is a real game-changer. He can tonk sixes at will and pick wickets and break partnerships and can field well too.
The Caribbean all-rounder did all of that in 2019. Russell did not play for the West Indies this year and has been constantly playing T20 leagues around the world. He’s aggregated 1019 runs at an average of 39.19. But it is his strike-rate that makes a telling difference.
No other player who has at least 300 runs in T20 cricket has a better strike-rate than Russell in 2019. The hard-hitting all-rounder has a strike-rate of 182.94 and has hit 95 sixes, the second-most this year. He’s picked 41 wickets to go with his batting exploits. Thus, he will be one of the first names on a team sheet.
