No matter the ground, no matter who the opponent is, Andre Russell is not afraid. It is not difficult for him to hit sixes anywhere, in any condition. But, after what Jofra Archer has done, now he will have to think 100 times before hitting sixes against him. Yes, it may seem a bit strange to read this but next time something similar can be seen in the clash between Russell and Archer. Russell will think of hitting sixes because he is a player of the same temperament, but keeping in mind what Archer has done to him in The Hundred.
Whatever happened between Andre Russell and Jofra Archer was just a matter of 2 balls. The match was between London Spirit and Southern Brave. In this match held on 24th July in the men's category, London Spirit batted first. Andre Russell was a part of this team, who came to bat at number 7. After his arrival, Jofra Archer took over the bowling for Southern Brave and then something was seen, which seemed to be a perfect example of the Hindi idiom 'eet ka jawaab patthar se dena'.
Whatever happened on the field was seen on the 64th and 65th balls of London Spirit's innings. The game started by Andre Russell on these two balls was finished by Jofra Archer in his own style. Russell first hit a long six on Archer's ball. But, before the excitement and description of this six could stop, Jofra Archer worked his magic. He took his revenge by getting Russell caught in the third man area on the very next ball.
