XtraTime Web Desk: Kolkata Knight Riders team management's poor decision regarding their most consistent batsman Andre Russell continues in the match against SunRisers Hyderabad as well. After Kane Williamson sent the visitors to bat first KKR were off to a flyer as they reached 42 runs in just 2.4 overs but again the middle order collapsed miserably like last game as they could only reach 159 runs in their allotted 20 overs. In the process the team management again sent Russell lower down the order after Rinku Singh got out on 16th over of the game. When Russell came to bat only 27 balls were left in the innings. Russell tried his best but could only manage to score 15 runs in 9 deliveries before getting out to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. After losing a close game against RCB at Eden Gardens Russell too raised questions about the KKR think tank and showed his eagerness to bat at No.4.” I believe that but (finger in front of lip to indicate he cannot speak about it). I think sometimes you have to flexible as a team,” said Rusell after the match against RCB.
