But, his conduct left many disappointed, with IPL deducting 60 percent of his match fee.
Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar wasn't entirely impressed when Andre Russell's heroic performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad was credited to Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir. In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Saturday, Russell's whirlwind knock of 64 runs off just 25 balls played a pivotal role in the team's 4-run victory. But, seeing the credit for Russell's stunning show going to Gambhir, Gavaskar asked for such an inference to be put on hold, considering it was only the franchise's first match of the season.

Ahead of a crunch game in Jaipur, we look at the predicted XIs of both sides.

In the WTA event, Swiatek was even more dominant, beating Italy's Camila Giorgi 6-2 6-1 as the rain impacted tournament packed in the big names including postponed matches from Friday.
