So, Russell got the promotion in the batting order he sought.

Ok, let's go "Dre"!

And I thought Powen would've been at church.

15.2
Hardik Pandya to Shubman Gill, out Caught by Lewis!! For a moment, Shubman seemed to have got hold of the shot - but he got plenty of height but not the distance, good catch at deep mid-wicket from Lewis - backtracking as he was, it was the slower ball and that did Shubman in, had to drag his shot and didn't get the requisite power behind it. Walks off to a standing ovation and after the customary check for a possible front-foot no-ball.

Shubman Gill c Lewis b Hardik Pandya 76(45) [4s-6 6s-4]

Hardik Pandya to A Russell, FOUR, cheeky and four, banged in short and wide as Russell was backing away - he waits on the ball and then ramps it over short third man, almost went all the way, bounced just in front of the ropes

16.4
Bumrah to Karthik, SIX, to deep mid-wicket

17.3
Hardik Pandya to A Russell, SIX, six more! A high full toss, Russell moves leg-side and clubs it over cow corner. Missed the yorker by a long way. Brute power!
17.2
Hardik Pandya to A Russell, SIX, another slower ball - 117.2kph, shorter in length and sits up nicely for the big West Indian to swing his bat. Russell clears his front leg and heaves it over deep mid-wicket. A biggie

 
Narper 2019-04-28 16:01:00 

17.5
Hardik Pandya to A Russell, SIX, that's an incredible hit! Hardik Pandya shortens his length and there wasn't too much width either. Russell made room and slapped it over square third man. He managed to slice it all the way for a six

Bumrah to A Russell, SIX, wow! This is tremendous. It was a slower delivery outside off and Russell had to reach out a long way as he was initaially backing away.

I thought they would've protected the veteran Malinga's bowling figures by using someone else at the death.

You know I rememnber during an earlier game when AlJo was playing they was like why is he playing and Malinga death bowler extraordinaire is on the bench

Narper 2019-04-28 16:15:28

Malinga to A Russell, SIX, Russell finishes it off with a six! Overpitched delivery and the West Indian doesn't need second invitations to put it away. Stays deep in the crease,

Warrier to Lewis, SIX, 138.5kph, short and wide outside off which allows Lewis to free his arms. The southpaw throws his bat at it and flays it over deep point for a maximum

 
Narper 2019-04-28 16:47:58 

Rohit goes for the big hoick, gets hit on the back leg. KKR players go up for an lbw appeal and the umpire has raised his finger. Rohit decides to review it.

A Russell to Lewis, out Caught by Karthik!! It is Russell's day. He can't do no wrong today. Strikes with his first ball. Back of a length in the channel around off, Lewis looks to force it from the crease and the outside edge nestles into the safe mitts of Karthik. KKR are running away with the game.

Chawla to Hardik Pandya, SIX, Pandya is going down with a fight. Short and down leg, Pandya waits before swiveling across and pulling it over long leg. Another huge one from the allrounder
1 run, quicker and at the stumps, Pandya pulls it to wide long-on
11.1
Chawla to Hardik Pandya, SIX, round the wicket angle is not working, for now. Fraction short and Pandya is quick to pounce on it, he stays deep in the crease and smashes it a good 20 rows back

Goes hard at a slower short delivery and mistimes it to deep mid-wicket. Dre Russ is the man who gets under the skier and takes the catch safely. A round of applause for Hardik who walks back to the pavilion after playing a quality knock.

Andre Russell | Man of the Match:
I am a fan of Avengers. Hand-eye co-ordination is important. I generate a lot of power from the core. You need to make sure your body is fit and strong. That shot was a surprise for me as well. We have given ourselves a chance. Hopefully the result in the next two games goes our way. We needed to get 200-plus but getting 230 was just enough. We kept our heads calm under pressure and executed our plans well.
