Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad camps acknowledged Andre Russell’s particular efficiency, which enabled the host to handle a slender four-run win within the Indian Premier League on the Eden Gardens on Saturday night time.
KKR opener Phil Salt mentioned Russell’s onslaught was nothing new for him. “I’ve played with Dre in the Hundred. He’s a phenomenal ball striker. The best in the world on his day. To see him do what he did, obviously is incredible. Love watching it, but it’s no surprise to me,” mentioned Salt.
SRH coach Daniel Vettori had related opinions. “His power is second to none, so you have to challenge yourself on being perfect with the execution.”
Both Salt and Vettori have been impressed with Ramandeep Singh, whose cameo on debut put KKR again on monitor.
“Ramandeep took the pressure off me. He had a hell of a cameo and we started to put a partnership,” mentioned Salt. Vettori mentioned Ramandeep set a platform for Russell. “With Salt well set, it allowed him (Ramandeep) to play his game.”
Vettori mentioned that with Heinrich Klaasen in SRH by no means misplaced hope within the chase. Salt praised younger pacer Harshit Rana for holding his nerve within the essential remaining over and serving to KKR defend its whole.
