Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad camps acknowledged Andre Russell’s special performance, which enabled the host to manage a narrow four-run win in the Indian Premier League at the Eden Gardens on Saturday night.
KKR opener Phil Salt said Russell’s onslaught was nothing new for him. “I’ve played with Dre in the Hundred. He’s a phenomenal ball striker. The best in the world on his day. To see him do what he did, obviously is incredible. Love watching it, but it’s no surprise to me,” said Salt.
SRH coach Daniel Vettori had similar opinions. “His power is second to none, so you have to challenge yourself on being perfect with the execution.”
