I was shocked to hear that he doesn't consider himself a Power Hitter inspite of hitting sixes with ease. Yea coz batting is taught in a diff way, specially rohit n kohli when they grew up there was no t20.... Now guys like hardik cant say that .....still their diet is diff then ours. A lot of red meat helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a batsman who can take the asking rate from 6 to 15 without losing his wicket. If 50 needed in the last 2 overs Dre can finish off. Let us say we need 300 to win. Tony scrapped around and get us to 250/5 in 48 overs from 120/4. Dre can score 50 in 2 overs and win the game :) We don't have any real power hitters.

Both ab and Rohit are hitters but Gayle and Russell are power hitters not just hitters. Even their mistimed shots clear the boundary due to power. Yuvraj was also a hitter.

You need to muscles for power hitting. He has trained himself to be a power hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Yuvraj had that Power hitting ability, he could stay in the crease and flick the slow spinners for Sixes with ease . Yusuf Pathan was another Power Hitter especially against Spinners. Power hitters can usually strike sixes and fours from Ball 1 unlike Rohit and Kohli who take their time to settle on the pitch and then go berserk in the end.

Power hitting is just something else. Like Gayle, Russell do that's power hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK_IH Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Russell is having a dream tournament, I think he must have surprised even himself with such consistency. He hasn't mis hit once in last 4 games but he has been bowled twice. I wanna watch Bumrah vs Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Drive Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Wish we had a power hitter like Russell. This guy can make hard hitters like Flintoff, Kluesner, Yuvraj, McCullum, Afridi, Lynn as his duplicates. Only Chris Gayle was on a different level to Russell when Gayle was younger than he is today. Otherwise Russell is unchallenged as a hitter in history of T20 format. Extraordinary player who had developed himself as the best T20 player at the moment.

Gayle was always a power hitter. Yuvraj had power but he was more of a timer than brute power neither he had big muscles but a good swing of the bat.

Tibarn Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 He is maybe more dangerous than any other player in the IPL. I don't think there has been another player who could do what he did yesterday, and he does that not that infrequently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
