Zee News
In IPL 2021, KKR all-rounder Russell has played 10 games, scoring 183 runs and taking 11 wickets.
Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Brendon McCullum conceded the injury to attacking all-rounder Andre Russell had upset the balance of the side, as after a strong start in the UAE, KKR is struggling to find its rhythm.
Russell has proved his credentials time and again with masterful batting and bowling performances in the past for KKR. His abilities as an impactful all-rounder have come to the fore time and again when his team has required. In the 2021 edition of the IPL, he has played 10 games, scoring 183 runs and taking 11 wickets.
On Friday, McCullum admitted that Russell's absence - due to a hamstring injury against Chennai Super Kings - was being painfully felt as the side lost to Punjab Kings by five wickets.
