Enter captio — KKR sealed their spot in playoffs with a convincing win over SRH

#2 Miss: Andre Russell

Andre Russell has been in patchy form this season. He’s had some brilliant games but has also disappointed in some games, especially with the bat. But whenever he delivers, he has a big impact on the game.

With the ball, he conceded 16 runs (plus four byes) in his first over, but came back well at the death and finished with figures of 1/31 and was one of the most expensive KKR bowlers today.

However, he failed to stand up in this game as he was expensive with the ball and also failed to finish off the game with the bat.

Russell came into bat at No. 5 in the 17th over. KKR still needed 24 runs off 21 deliveries but the West Indian all-rounder failed to bat through.
