At the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) practice session at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on 28 March, Andre Russell tore into the bowlers. With murderous expansive swings of the willow, he repeatedly smacked balls onto the stadium roof. RCB is set to test KKR’s batting muscle today evening.
Today, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will have to find a way to stop the Jamaican from recreating this magic.
Russell, who stunned Sunrisers Hyderabad with a 25-ball 64 in the previous outing, will be doubly encouraged by his impressive record at this venue.
Victory in their respective previous games might have eased the initial nerves but imperfections remain, hence Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders will eye a quick course correction to add steam to their campaign in an IPL 2024 match in Bengaluru on March 29.
The Royal Challengers defeated Punjab Kings by four wickets, while the Knight Riders elbowed out Sunrisers Hyderabad by four runs to garner some early points.
