#3 KXIP pay big for no-ball to Russell
Two games for KKR and in both games, Andre Russell made a huge impact and eventually, won the player of the match award in both games. However, he had his fair share of luck in the second game against Kings XI Punjab.

He didn’t get off to the best of starts and was out bowled off his sixth delivery. However, it was called a no-ball as only three fielders were inside the 30-yard circle. Quite absurd, isn't it?
Russell was batting on just 3 at that moment. Mohammed Shami had bowled an excellent yorker which went through the defences of Russell and knocked him over. But he got a lucky reprieve. That was the moment the game turned on its head as the big-hitting all-rounder made KXIP pay. He scored 48 off 17 deliveries as he took the game away from Punjab in the last three overs.
He came back and picked up a couple of wickets with the ball, including the big one of Chris Gayle. Hence, that no-ball was a huge moment.
Russell is among the players in race for the Orange and Purple caps as well.
