KOLKATA: The old warhorses of Kolkata Knight Riders — Andre Russell and Sunil Narine — joined the side’s training session at the Eden Gardens on Saturday. Both the West Indians, who arrived in the city after travelling for almost 24 hours on Saturday morning, did not opt to rest but decided to get down to business in the evening.
The sight of Russell bowling, although not in his full run-up, at the nets must have pleased coach Chandrakant Pandit and mentor Gautam Gambhir as it would provide the side an additional bowling option.
