NEW DELHI: Giant-killer Andre Russell has shown why he is a class aside in the case of ripping aside bowlers within the shortest-version of the game. The West Indian marauder in an instant modified the momentum of the game whilst turning up for Kolkata Knight Riders in opposition to Sunrisers Hyderabad during Match 2 of the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday.
POINTS TABLE I SCHEDULE
Needing 53 runs off the general three overs, that is the maximum number of runs scored in a successful chase within the last three overs of an IPL event ever.
Russell, who got here into bat at number 5, performed a match-winning unbeaten knock of 49 runs off simply 19 balls to take KKR over the line within the final over of the innings.
Russell first tore aside paceman Siddarth Kaul, stealing 19 runs, within the 18th over. He began the over with two successive sixes that brought down the equation to 34 runs off the general two overs. He then whacked stand-in skipper Bhuvneshwar Kumar for 21 runs within the penultimate over, clobbering two sixes and as many fours to show the tables on SRH.
With 13 required off the general over, young Shubman Gill (18*) joined the birthday party through hitting two biggies off Shakib Al Hasan to seal the event for KKR.
