An astonishing performance from Andre Russell in his first game as captain earned him praise on Twitter
ESPNcricinfo staff11-Aug-2018T20 performances don’t get better than Andre Russell’s in Port-of-Spain. He became only the second player to take a hat-trick and a hundred in the same T20 match, and the first to score a hundred batting at No. 7, to help Jamaica Tallawahs complete an astounding win. All this, in his first game as captain.
Thought I’d seen it all… @Russell12A batting this evening nothing short of remarkable. 5/41 when he comes in 121no off 49 balls. #CPL #biggestpartyinsport
