Mon, Apr 11, '16
KOLKATA, India (CMC) — West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell hurt Delhi Daredevils with a three-wicket haul, as Carlos Brathwaite tasted defeat on debut in a nine-wicket loss to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their opening game of the Indian Premier League here yesterday.
Seamer Russell grabbed three for 24 from three overs as KKR, opting to bowl first, bundled Delhi out for a paltry 98 off 17.4 overs at Eden Gardens.
Left-arm spinner Brad Hogg claimed three for 19, while pacer John Hastings (2-6) and leg-spinner Piyush Chawla (2-21) supported with two wickets apiece.
Not a single Delhi batsman made it into the 20s and South African Quinton de Kock was their top scorer with 17.
