Both, Russell and Stokes are one of MVPs of their country in shortest format.
Commentator and ex-India batsman Aakash Chopra had a Q&A session with fans on Twitter. He was asked to pick the best all-rounder between England's Ben Stokes and West Indies' Andre Russell.

The question read, "#AakashVani Is Andre Russell a better all-rounder in T20s than Ben Stokes??".
Both the all-rounders are the backbone of their side and provide stability and much-needed balance in the team. But in comparison, Aakash picked Russell over Stokes. He believes both are neck-to-neck with the ball, but when it comes to batting, Russell leaves the Englishman behind easily.
Chopra also said Russell is in all-time great of T20s and his finishing ability with the bat makes him one of the most dangerous shorter format batter.
"Andre andar, gend bahar (Andre in, ball out)," said Aakash to finish his answer.
