Andre Russell
Kolkata has lost in another IPL match. This defeat is even more year old when the team has to chase a score of only 112 runs. When the Punjab team scored only 111 runs in the first innings, no one would have guessed that Kolkata’s team will not be able to chase this small score and will lose. But Punjab Kings kept thinking something else. In the very first over, Punjab did not let Kolkata come in the match and the entire team dismissed. If anyone is considered the biggest responsible and villain of this defeat, then he is Andre Russell. They could win this match on their own, but failed this time too.
KKR has done Andre Russell for 12 crores
Andre Russell is a player, whom KKR’s team is continuously retaining. This time, Kolkata also let his captain Shreyas Iyer go, but kept Russell with him and spent a full 12 crore rupees for him. But they have not been able to win a single match in this year’s IPL. In Tuesday’s match, he had a chance that he could become a hero by winning, but he became a villain.
Russell scored only 17 runs on 11 balls
Andre Russell came to bat at number seven in this match. He scored 17 runs on 11 balls. It included a four and two sixes, which he made in the same over of Yuzvendra Chahal. When KKR’s team lost, they needed only 17 runs on 30 balls to win. He was also on strike, but went out on the first ball of the 16th over and went to the pavilion and Kolkata’s team lost the match.
Andre Russell’s performance has been in this year’s IPL so far
In this year’s IPL, he has not been able to play a single such innings that should be remembered. Russell scored only four runs in the first match against RCB. After this, he did not bat in the match against Rajasthan. Russell was dismissed for only five runs against Mumbai. Russell scored an innings against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He could score only seven runs against LSG and he did not bat against CSK. This was the first time that Russell was able to cross the figure of Dhai and reached 17 runs, but he still failed to win the team.
