Andre Russell is yet to hit top form in the World Cup. The West Indies all-rounder was expected to blast bowlers like he did in the last edition of the Indian Premier League. However, he has failed to get going and has been hampered by injuries, leaving West Indies in trouble.

Yuzvendra Chahal, who has an experience of bowling to him, knows how to contain the burly all-rounder.

The Indian spinner has picked up seven wickets from four games and is the one who will be handed the task of keeping Russell quite.

“We would obviously have a plan. He (Russell) is a hard-hitter but we have bowled to him enough,” he said.

Chahal further added that Windies batsmen will be under pressure as West Indies are looking to register another win in the World Cup.

“Playing for your country is very different from playing IPL. The pressure to win games is as much on them as it is on us. Look they are desperate to win. They are also trying to get some form back. So the conditions will be different and so will be the situation,” he added.
