“Last time around, we played an afternoon game here, so we’ve got a good sense of how the pitch behaves. We’d have preferred to bowl first given the conditions, but now that we’re batting, we’ll focus on tiring them out in this sweltering heat.
Our batsmen are in fine touch, so we’ll aim to keep it simple and stick to the basics. No changes in our lineup.

“Thanks to the almighty. I always back my bowling as I said earlier. Getting the ball at a crucial time, I knew that I had to come good and thankfully it happened today. Happy for the two points. When I was batting earlier, change of pace was difficult to hit. As a bowler that’s what I wanted to do. The slower balls were gripping and holding.
Was happy to get the two set batters out and I think that’s what changed the game. Those two wickets from Narine were also very important and that’s what started the slide for RCB. When I look at the bowling equation, I had two left and I conditioned myself to bowl that (19th) over. Tried to give Starc as many runs as I could. DK wasn’t getting off strike so I looked at bowling 6 deliveries to him and mix it up, thankfully it worked.”

Andre Russell, Kolkata Knight Riders
