In the previous season of the marquee tournament, Russell scored 510 runs in 14 matches with the strike rate of over 200. Well, these numbers are nothing but staggering and Russell will be determined to put on a similar impact. However, with the pitches in UAE favouring the spinners and the boundaries being on the larger side, the dasher will certainly tackle a different challenge. Nevertheless, when Russell is on song, even the best of the bowlers are dispatched and the boundary doesn’t even come into play.
Apart from Russell, KKR also have the services of skipper Dinesh Karthik, Eoin Morgan, Pat Cummins, Sunil Narine and Kuldeep Yadav who enjoying playing the shortest format of the game. Hence, KKR certainly have a great chance to clinch their third IPL title.
