KKR actually made things happen for me by sending me to get proper knee treatments. To be honest, that means a lot to me. No other franchise, let alone my country, has ever invested that much in me, Russell said in a video posted on KKR’s YouTube channel.
I’m content here. I don’t see any other franchise in this tournament that I would like to be a part of because I’ve been here for about 9 years. Being here for so long and meeting these guys brings me closer to them every year.

The home team’s misfiring campaign was finally put to rest after they fired in unison to snap a four-match losing streak in Bangalore.

Roy has scores of 43, 61, and 56 in three matches despite only being included in their sixth match of the season, and KKR’s batting will once again revolve around him. The victory propelled KKR to 7th place in the 10-team standings, but they still have a long way to go before making the playoffs.
