Andre Russell blitzkrieg helps KKR post 232/2 against Mumbai Indians

Kolkata, April 28 (CRICKETNMORE): Promoted to No. 3 for the first time this season, Andre Russell bludgeoned a typically whirlwind 80* while Shubman Gill and Chris Lynn also slammed half-centuries to help Kolkata Knight Riders post an imposing 232/2 -- the highest total in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL) -- against Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens here on Sunday.

Needing a victory to even dream of a berth in the playoffs, KKR were off to a flying start riding on Lynn (54; 29 balls, 4x8, 6x2) and Gill's (76; 45 balls, 4x6, 6x4) 96-run opening stand which came off just 57 deliveries. Gill's chanceless knock was also his highest T20 score.
