IPL 2021 / Andre Russell Reacts On Shah Rukh Khan Apology Tweet After Kkr Loss To Mi

IPL 2021 | Five-time champions Mumbai Indians defeated KKR by 10 runs in Chennai in the IPL match on Tuesday, thanks to the brilliant spin bowling of Rahul Chahar and Krunal Pandya. This was Mumbai's first win of the season. Kolkata Knight Riders needed 31 runs to win in the last five overs with six wickets remaining, but the Mumbai bowlers snatched the win from their jaws.

Franchise owner and Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan is deeply saddened by this embarrassing performance of the team. Normally, Shah Rukh has always been tweeting the team's enthusiasm after losing or winning, but this time he has apologized to the fans for the poor performance of the players. King Khan has openly expressed his disappointment.

When Shah Rukh Khan's tweet was asked by Russell, who scored just nine runs in 15 balls, he said that it is bound to be disappointed. He further added, 'This was just the second match. There is still a long way to go. We are still full of enthusiasm and trust. We have played good cricket, it is a game of cricket. I have played hundreds of T20 matches and I have seen many games where the team wins and starts losing suddenly. That's what happened tonight '

Russell continues, 'You have to try and be as open-minded as possible. It is a tough wicket to bat on and it is not easy for a new batsman to come in and start hitting from the first ball. No matter how good a batsman you are, you really need a few balls to arouse your eyes. '

KKR needed 19 runs to win the last two overs. At the crease there was aggressive all-rounder Andre Russell and capable of playing big shots Dinesh Karthik, but Bumrah conceded just four runs in this over. Bolt ensured the victory of Mumbai Indians by dismissing Russell and Pat Cummins for two consecutive balls in the last over. Cummins was out without opening an account. Karthik remained unbeaten after scoring eight runs off 11 balls. Earlier, Russell took five wickets for 15 runs in two overs, allowing Mumbai to lose just 38 runs after losing seven wickets in the last five hours.
