Watch: Andre Russell pull off a blinder to dismiss de Kock in Ram Slam T20 Challenge
In the Ram Slam T20 challenge, Andre Russell came to the limelight by his spectacular and amazing catch to dismiss Quinton de Kock.
It was indeed a display of sheer athleticism by Russell. It was very difficult to catch and yet it looked pretty casual on Russell’s part. Right in the 4th over of the match, in a relatively overpitched delivery from Maluso Siboto, de Kock tried to hit the ball over the bowler’s head. But unfortunately, he was unable to connect it well. Russell, who was fielding in the mid on region, ran back, but he had his eyes settled on the ball.
In the end, he wasn’t able to cover the entire ground but with acute perfection, caught hold of the ball with his right hand and it looked way too much casual in real time action.
And after taking the catch, Russell reacted in a typical Jamaican style, with a tinge of Jamaican style. This made the scene even more epic.
However, Russell wasn’t able to impress much with the ball. Knights restricted the Titans to a total of 128 runs. Albie Morkel top-scored for the Titans with his unbeaten knock of 46 runs at the death overs.
In reply, Knights, as of the moment has been struggling with the bat and they are down with 69/4 in the 14th over of the innings.
Such display of ecstatic fielding is indeed a treat to watch. What makes it even more special is when it comes from a West Indian player. Indeed, we can call it as athleticism at its best.
Grab a look at the spectacular catch by the Jamaican, Andre Russell.
