Andre Russell’s injury

Before the IPL 2018 began, KKR was in a spot of bother as Mitchell Starc got injured, Russell was recuperating and Narine had a suspect action. The clouds cleared up on Russell and Narine and been the mainstays of the Kolkata team. Russell has been phenomenal especially with the bat and has thundered 16 sixes in his brief stays.

The reason why KKR fans will be praying ahead of the match is how Russell limped off in the match against KXIP. While bowling to rampaging Gayle, Russell faced a problem with his heavily strapped hamstring and could not continue in the field. His fitness will be paramount for KKR’s team.
