Twitter reacts as Dinesh Karthik and Andre Russell builds solid partnership after KKR's early batting collapse

03/30/2019

KKR, at one point of the game were 61/5 and then Russell walked in and started smashing sixes for fun and get to his first fifty of the season. Twitter was flooded as Dinesh Karthik, too, scored a half century and built a solid partnership with Russell to get a decent score on the board.

One of the best partnerships this season!

Best hitter in IPL!

I have been watching cricket since I was a small kid and I don't think I've ever seen someone hit a ball as hard as Andre Rusell does. He does not hit the ball, he smacks it. Monster! #DCvKKR

Before Elon Musk sends a man to mars, Andre Russel will send a cricket ball. #DCvKKR
