During the 29th match of the 11th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Bengaluru, bowling his first over, Kolkata Knight Riders’ Andre Russell picked up a couple of wickets to cause trouble to the opposition camp.

Dinesh Karthik, captain of Kolkata Knight Riders, had won the toss and chose to field. The Knight Riders decided to field an unchanged playing eleven. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore included Brendon McCullum, Manan Vohra, Tim Southee & Murugan Ashwin. AB de Villiers, Corey Anderson, Pawan Negi and Washington Sundar.

Russell, who turned 30 today, was introduced into the attack in the 10th over. In just the previous over, Bangalore’s 67-run opening partnership was broken by Kuldeep Yadav. On the penultimate delivery of his first over, Russell forced Brendon McCullum (38) to play a hook shot.

Unsuccessful at his attempt, McCullum ended up edging the ball behind the wickets to Karthik. He ended up scoring 38 (28) with the help of four fours and two sixes. Manan Vohra replaced McCullum in the middle. On the final ball of the over, Vohra inside edged a full toss from Russell straight to his foot and then the stumps, becoming Russell’s second victim.
