The Caribbean pacer is vying for the fast bowler spot with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528, who has been in good form right from the start, with seven wickets in three matches so far.
However, the 23-year-old Jamaican fast bowler believes patience is the key to success and is hopeful of making the playing XI this season.
"As far as Daredevils is concerned, there is so much quality that it's hard to pick four players,” said Russell speaking to media reporters on Thursday.
“But I am waiting to grab any opportunity that comes my way. Whether batting in the last three or four overs, or bowling at the death, I am ready to give my hundred percent," he added further.
The 23-year-old right-arm seamer reckons his IPL stint with the Delhi Daredevils will help him prepare for the upcoming http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 Championship, to be held in Sri Lanka in September this year.
The Jamaican pace bowler found it difficult to bowl in the Test format of the game and is looking forward to domestic first-class competitions to improve his bowling and make a comeback in the longest format of the game.
"The conditions here are different from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013. Here you can't bully any batsman with pace but one has to be very consistent with areas where one is bowling," said Andre, speaking about playing conditions in the sub-continent.
To date, he has played in only one Test, back in November 2010, against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 at Galle.
With two wins in three matches played so far, Daredevils sit at the top of IPL5 points table, just behind http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians, who they will be playing on April 16, 2012.
