IPL 2024: Russell Came On And Completely Changed The Momentum, Says Shreyas Iyer
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders’ captain Shreyas Iyer lauded Andre Russell for his match-winning spell of 3-25 in the side’s thrilling one-run win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, saying the fast-bowling all-rounder completely changed the momentum of the game.
In chasing 223, Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar smashed half-centuries while sharing a crucial 102-run stand for the third wicket, before Russell came on to take out the settled duo with slower balls in a span of four balls in the 12th over and then dismissed Dinesh Karthik in the 19th over to play a strong role in KKR’s tight win, which now takes them to second place in the points table.
"We go through so many emotions, tough to stay calm. Elated to get these two points. I feel that every individual should take responsibility to deliver. Russell came on and completely changed the momentum. It's a funny game, when you need 18 off 6, the pressure is on the bowler.”
