Star all-rounder and Jamaica Tallawahs captain Andre Russell played one of the greatest knocks of all time in T20 cricket. He came into bat at number 7 against Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) when his team was 41/5 in the chase of 224 runs, but Russell's 121* runs off just 49 balls helped his team to chase down this total with three balls to spare. Andre Russell hit 6 fours and 13 sixes in his innings and needed just 40 balls to complete his ton.

Earlier, Russell had also taken a hat-trick in TKR, as he removed McCullum, Darren Bravo and Denesh Ramdin from the last three balls of the innings. 

Here are all the records which Andre Russell created in the match against Tribago Knight Riders in Port of Spain :
