IPL 2021 RCB vs KKR Eliminator: Good news for Kolkata Knight Riders, Andre Russell fit to play eliminator vs RCB
IPL 2021 RCB vs KKR Eliminator: While his form has been patchy this season, Andre Russell’s injury return should add yet another dynamic to KKR’s side, who have taken the Phase 2 by storm with their attacking intent.
Russell can effectively contribute with bat and ball, and incidentally picked up the wicket of Ab de Villiers for a duck during KKR’s earlier encounter with RCB in UAE.
With the knockouts leaving little room for error, someone with the West Indian all-rounder’s abilities is always a boost to the side, as KKR look to end their seven-year trophy drought. In 10 games this season, Russell has scored 183 runs at a strike rate of 152.50, while has chipped in with 11 wickets with the ball.
