"Injury Waiting To Happen": Simon Doull On KKR's Star Player
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Andre Russell can be one of the most devastating players in the world on his day, but the biggest concern about him is his fitness. During KKR's defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Wednesday, Russell suffered yet another injury scare as captain Shreyas Iyer could only bowl him for three overs. Even then, bowling the 20th over, Russell could barely get through, falling over in his follow-through. Retained for Rs 12 crore, Russell is a key part of KKR's plans and they would hope that the niggle is not too serious and he is available for the season.
