Chris Gayle changed my life in terms of power hitting, says Andre Russell

New Delhi, Apr 20 (UNI) West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell, who has been in brilliant form in the ongoing 12th edition of IPL, has lauded his teammate Chris Gayle for changing his life in terms of power hitting.
"Chris Gayle changed my life in terms of power hitting. I've learned a lot from him," BBC quoted Russel as saying adding that he used lighter bats "but when you make contact with a light bat, it doesn't go anywhere. During the World Cup, he came to me and said, 'Russ, you're better than that. You can use bigger bats, you're strong.'' Russel said.
Reminiscing the 2016 T-20 World Cup which changed his life, Russel said," That semi-final onwards, where I scored 48 (43) runs for West Indies. Now my bats are [bigger]. There's a lot of mechanics behind my bats, I play around with them a lot".
