We do have a plan set for Russell, says Gowtham
Andre Russell has been the knight in shining armor for Kolkata Knight Riders in the ongoing 12th edition of the Indian Premier League. The all-rounder has already struck 207 runs from just 77 balls in IPL 2019 from four matches. Russell's heroics at the death could be a major issue for Rajasthan Royals. However, Krishnappa Gowtham said there is a plan set for Russell.
Gowtham hopes the plan set for Russell works tonight
"He has been in very good form. He has been hitting a lot of sixes and he is doing well for his team. We do have a plan set for him and hopefully it comes out," said Gowtham.
Russell has pumped things up with effortless hitting
Russell has the best strike-rate this season (268.83). He has hit the most sixes this season (22). The T20 stalwart has been clearing the boundaries with ease at the death. Notably, Russell has been consistent across the four matches for KKR so far. He has got scores of 48*, 49, 62 and 48*. In the previous match, he punished RCB to help KKR win.
RR haven't started well in IPL 2019
KKR will be looking to get their fourth win of the season when they face RR at 8:00 PM tonight at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium. RR haven't got off to a good start in IPL 12 and are currently lying seventh. They got off the mark against RCB in the last match and Gowtham wants them to carry on the winning momentum.
'We want to carry on the winning momentum'
"Yes, we were having certain hiccups but we are peaking at the right time and doing well. In the last game against RCB everything came out really well. We want to carry on the winning momentum," the all-rounder added.
