Caribbean all-rounder Andre Russell is playing in UAE in this season of IPL. He didn’t look in fine form in this season of IPL. He didn’t play single significant knock in this season of IPL. His scores in this season of IPL read 11,24,13,2. So one fan on social media took a dig at his form on the Instagram post of Russell’s wife Jassym Lora.
What Is The Whole Story About?
A Fan made an absurd comment on her post, “Jassym aunty please go to Dubai Russell is not in good form.”
She gave it back to troller by replying, “He is in the best form.”
In wake of the pandemic in IPL, players are cautious while taking part in cricket tournaments. Some players like veteran Indian batsman Suresh Raina and Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh opted out of this season of IPL. Some players being cautious chose to not travel family members to UAE. Jassym Lora didn’t travel with Russel to UAE.
The Performance So Far By Andre Russell In IPL
The 32-year-old allrounder Russell delivered a good performance with the ball in this season of IPL. He bagged five wickets in this season from five IPL games with an economy rate of eight runs per over and strike rate of 12 balls per wicket. One of the best death bowlers in this season of IPL.In this season, his economy rate is only 8.57 runs in death overs.
His team Kolkata Knight Riders won two games and lost three games in this season of IPL. They are ranked at fourth position in the IPL points table. They defeated Chennai Super Kings in the entertaining game on Wednesday due to heroic performance of Indian opener Rahul Tripathi and allrounder Andre Russell.
The team will clash heads with Kings XI Punjab on this Saturday. King XI Punjab is ranked at last position in the points table of this season and lost five matches in this season with a solitary win against Royal Challengers Bangalore. So Kolkata would like to defeat under-confident Punjab to get important two points.
What Next For KKR In The IPL 2020 Campaign?
The Kolkata Knight Riders really need to pick up form if they want to make it to the playoffs of the current tournament. Though there is a long way to go, it is all about consistency and the players will know that. They have some good competition in the tournament, with all teams looking to make it into the top four.
Let’s hope that KKR has a plan to deal with their upcoming opponents. Things could really get messy in the business end of the season. Time will only tell whether Andre Russell and co. are well prepared to deal with the threats that the oppositions put in front of them.
The tournament for KKR has seen a few ups and downs at present. They have won three and lost a couple already. Hopefully, those wins keep coming. That is what the team and the fans will be hoping for sure.
