Kolkata’s Knight shines again

Kolkata, March 27 

Andre Russell’s second consecutive blistering knock made all the difference as Kolkata Knight Riders beat Kings XI Punjab by 28 runs in the IPL here today.

Russell, who hit a sensational 19-ball 49 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in KKR’s previous match, bludgeoned his way to a 17-ball 48 to propel the home side to 218/4 after being sent in to bat. He later took two wickets for 21 runs to help KKR restrict KXIP to 190/4.

When on three, Russell was yorked by Mohammed Shami off the last delivery of the 17th over but to the horror of KXIP, the umpire signalled a no-ball as the visiting team was found to have one fielder short of the mandatory four inside the 30-yard circle. — PTI
