When it comes to batsmen who hit long sixes in T20 cricket, the first name that comes to the mind is Andre Russell. This player, who plays for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL, hits sixes very fast. On the basis of his ability, Russell also made KKR win the IPL. By the way, the interesting thing is that now Gautam Gambhir, who was the mentor of KKR, is preparing Andre Russell in Team India. The news that has come out before the T20 series against Sri Lanka is really amazing.

Russell is preparing Gambhir!

Team India had a long practice session in Pallekele and during this time the batsmen spent a lot of time in the nets. If reports are to be believed, the batsmen were asked to play big shots. The bowlers were instructed to bowl fast short balls so that the batsmen face difficulty in playing big shots. In T20 cricket, bowlers often use bouncers to stop big shots and Gambhir is preparing his batsmen for this ball.

There are six hitters in team India

Even though Rohit Sharma has retired from T20 cricket, Team India has no shortage of six hitters. Yashasvi Jaiswal hits long sixes. Captain Suryakumar Yadav himself hits a lot of sixes. Hardik Pandya is also known for hitting long hits. Rishabh Pant's name is famous for this. Also, now Riyan Parag has come in the team who is known for hitting big hits. Rinku Singh, Shivam Dubey are also included in these players. In such a situation, if you see these batsmen hitting big shots in the T20 series against Sri Lanka, then do not be surprised. By the way, the ground of Pallekele is good for batting. The best score here in the last five matches is above 190. Team India played a T20 match on this ground 12 years ago in 2012 in which it defeated Sri Lanka by a big margin of 39 runs. Virat Kohli was the player of the match.
