HEADLINE: Former India spinner believes Russell could be liability for KKR

West Indies all-rounder, Andre Russell, has come under fire for what has been described as the lack of improvement in his game, as his struggles with the bat for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have been plainly noticeable in IPL 2020 so far.

In eight matches to date, Russell has struggled to an average of 11.85, with a high score of 24.  As those stats will tell you, the typically big-hitting West Indian has managed to clear the boundary rope just 6 times, reaching to it on four occasions, well short of his explosive best.

“Andre Russell is not an improved cricketer, he has not changed his game. You see all the top players, they have changed their approach. Andre Russell is playing just the way he was playing 4 years ago, that is a liability,” Pragyan Ojha told India Today’s Sports Tak.

I predicted this. Don't you see a pattern here?

First drip drip negativity started with Gayle, then Cottrell that he was overpaid. Narine was previously cleared but that wasn'nt enough. Now it is Russell who in the last IPL was everyone's hero.

Russell is a slogger, eventually a slogger's luck will run out, he needs to go back to basics for a while.

Russell has played too much cricket while not being fit and it is catching up to him. He has come back too soon from too many surgeries and injuries. He needs to rest and rebuild his body.

Well said, it is as simple as that!
He will be back to his best soon enough.
