The flamboyant Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Andre Russell cited the “bad decisions” taken by his team as the reason behind the disappointing IPL campaign which has seen the side lose six matches in a row.

According to reports in PTI, Russell said, “We have a good team but if you make bad decisions then you will always lose games and that’s what we’ve been doing. If we had enough time, I could pinpoint a few games where if we just looked to bowl tighter in areas or bring in right bowlers at the right time, we could have won. As a professional cricketer, to be in this position is not the healthiest. In terms of decisions, we have been bowling wrongly at the wrong time, that’s what’s been causing us to keep losing in simple ways.”

In IPL 2019 so far, Russell has scored runs at a strike rate of 209.27 and he was hurt after KKR failed to defend 176 against a “weak” Rajasthan Royals. He said the atmosphere in the team is not healthy and he likes to keep himself confined to his room.

Describing his point further, Russell said, “We have to make sure that we have a good practice session, do whatever it takes, put our body on the line and make sure that we take KKR over the line for next three games. I find myself just been in my room for the last couple of days losing games after games. It’s not healthy, to be honest. I’m feeling down at the moment but tomorrow when we cross the rope my energy level will be 150.”

KKR has the worst record against MI who have won eight matches in an 18-5 head-to-head record. The last time KKR had won against MI was four years ago.
