Twitter reacts as Andre Russell set Eden Gardens on fire
With 232 on board, KKR posted the highest score of the season against Mumbai Indians. Shubman Gill played a wonderful knock of 76 but Andre Russell grabbed all attention with his 40-ball 80. Twitter heaped praise on the Caribbean and KKR as they managed to fetch 55 in the last three overs.
High praises from the God of cricket!
Massive total put up thanks to some fantastic batting by @RealShubmanGill, @lynny50 and @Russell12A. However, with a beautiful surface to bat on and a lightning quick outfield, this could turn out to be a very close game. What do you think guys? ๐ #KKRvMI

The thing to marvel about Russellโs batting this season, more than the power, is the consistency. Breathtaking stuff! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐#KKRvMI

LoL!
The only thing that goes faster than Andre Russell's sixer is RCB going out of the tournament. #KKRvMI

It was Russell vs Bumrah!
That 19th over by Bumrah to Russell was a treat to watch & what made it more interesting was your commentary @bhogleharsha !!! Just amazing stuff, loved your energy and innovativeness- "Every ball is a free hit when Russel bats"- #KKRvMI
