Watch! Krishnappa Gowtham takes a brilliant catch running backwards to dismiss Andre Russell

<h2>It seemed that the ball would fall in an open space but running backwards, Gowtham pulled off a screamer to dismiss Russell for 12</h2>

Krishnappa Gowtham might be yet to play a game in IPL 2024 but he still made a huge impact in Lucknow Super Giants' home game against the Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday night.
KKR, who were marching towards a mammoth total had Andre Russell well set. However, the big-hitting West Indian mishit a Naveen-ul-Haq delivery and the ball went miles up in the air.
It seemed that it would fall in an open space but running backwards, Gowtham pulled off a screamer to dismiss Russell for 12.

That catch reduced KKR to 167/3 and also paved way for annother wicket in the very next over.
Interestingly, he was not a part of LSG's starting XI and was substituing for Mohsin Khan, who had left the field after hitting his head on the ground while fielding.
Earlier, LSG skipper KL Rahul won the toss and elected to bowl against KKR in their Indian Premier League match here on Sunday.
LSG replaced injured pacer Mayank Yadav with Yash Thakur. KKR, on the other hand, were unchanged.

While the South African did not explicitly name Pandit, he addressed him as the 'new coach' who joined last year. 


Andre Russell clears the air about KKR coach Chandrakant Pandit after David Wiese's scathing remarks

David Wiese had referred to Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Chandrakant Pandit as a 'militant coach'.

<h2>While David Wiese did not explicitly name Chandrakant Pandit, he addressed him as the 'new coach' who joined KKR last year.&nbsp;</h2>

In the wake of David Wiese's critical comments about Kolkata Knight Riders' head coach, Chandrakant Pandit, referring to him as 'a militant coach', the team's dynamic all-rounder Andre Russell has come forward to provide clarity on the situation. Addressing the media before KKR's upcoming game against RCB, Russell shared insights into his experience working with Pandit since last year, painting a different picture than the one portrayed by Wiese.
Russell expressed his respect and understanding for Pandit's coaching style, stating, "Working with him from last year, we got to know the type of person he is and that made things a lot easier for us." He emphasized the importance of adapting to a coach's philosophy and the professional adjustments that come with it, suggesting a positive working relationship with Pandit. "When you work with a coach in the first year, you have to make sure you have to trust their philosophy&hellip;we have to do certain things as professionals. It&rsquo;s been going good," Russell elaborated.
The controversy began when Wiese, during a podcast, made allegations about Pandit's coaching approach. Without directly naming Pandit, Wiese described the 'new coach' who joined last year as being overly strict and disciplinarian, saying, "He is known in India as a very militant type of coach. He is very strict, very disciplinarian and that type of stuff."
Chandrakant Pandit, who took over the reins of KKR in 2023 following Brendon McCullum's departure, is well recognised for his stringent coaching methods in the domestic circuit.

Andre Russell, who is currently playing for the Los Angeles Knight Riders in MLC 2023, lit up Church Street Park in Morrisville with an unbeaten 37-ball-70 on July 21.
His innings was stitched with 6 fours and as many sixes but one of those biggies hit a kid on his head.
However, the big man from Jamaica made sure the young fan left the stadium with a smile.
Russell checked on the kid after the match and not only gave him a big hug but also gave him an autographed bat.

Andre Russell may not have stayed till the very end but it was his 23-ball 42 that helped KKR win 2 very crucial points against the Punjab Kings.

IPL 2023: 'We were all waiting for that one Andre Russell innings' - KKR captain Nitish Rana

"I am used to the Eden crowd screaming 'Russell, Russell' but to hear them shout 'Rinku, Rinku' makes me feel very happy and proud" - KKR captain Nitish Rana

<h2>Andre Russell may not have stayed till the very end but it was his 23-ball 42 that helped KKR win 2 very crucial points against the Punjab Kings.</h2>

Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Nitish Rana was happy that big power hitter Andre Russell had finally come to the party this IPL season, saying he kept "backing" the Jamaican knowing that a match-winning innings was around the corner.
KKR defeated Punjab Kings by five wickets, chasing down the 180-run winning target off the last ball of the innings, with Russell scoring a 23-ball 43 studded with three fours and as many maximums.
Russell punished PBKS quick Sam Curran in the penultimate over of the innings, hitting the England bowler for three sixes before the West Indian was run out, leaving Rinku Singh to score the winning runs.
Rinku smashed a boundary of the last ball to win the match for KKR.
"Ten matches have gone, we were all waiting for that one Russell innings to come. He was one innings away, I kept backing him saying you have done a lot, and you will 100 percent win us a game," said Nitish Rana.
Speaking about Rinku Singh's performance, Rana also said, "The whole crowd was chanting 'Rinku, Rinku'. That is what he has earned this year. I've been at this franchise for many years now, I'm used to the Eden crowd screaming 'Russell, Russell' but to hear them shout 'Rinku, Rinku' makes me feel very happy and proud. That's the respect he has earned this season."
Rana also conceded he was angry with his bowlers conceding runs in the last couple of overs to let PBKS score a competitive 179/7.
"This pitch was a feel of home advantage as well. Our bowlers bowled badly at the death, I was angry that we conceded that many because this was a 160-165 run wicket.
Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan lamented the lack of a quality off-spinner in his side, though leg-spinner Rahul Chahar did bowl a tight spell.
"I feel that we don't have a good off-spinner. When left-handers come, from one end we have a leg-spinner and at the other end, we have a left-arm spinner (Harpreet Brar). So that's where I feel we are leaking a bit of runs. This wicket was offering turn as well so I feel that's where we took the hit," said Shikhar.
Dhawan did sound dejected now that they are staring at elimination.
"Not feeling that great. We lost the game and it was not an easy track to bat on and I feel that we put on a good total. At the end, they played well.
"It was great, phenomenal effort from Arshdeep (Singh) and the way he has bounced back from the last game, all credit goes to him. It was quite interesting that he took the game to the last ball so it was really good," added Shikhar.

All-rounders Andre Russell, Sunil Narine &amp; Fabian Allen were the big omissions as the West Indies named their 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup in Australia.
Chief Selector Desmond Haynes cited Russell&rsquo;s poor batting form behind his exclusion. The all-rounder has only managed 37 runs from 5 innings in the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL). Haynes also stated that Sunil Narine was never considered since the all-rounder never made himself available for selection.

Meanwhile, the selection committee picked left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein over Fabian Allen for the marquee tournament. There was also no place for the big-hitting all-rounder Romario Shepherd.
Opener Even Lewis though was called up to the squad having last represented the Windies at the T20 World Cup last year.
While all-rounder Raymon Reifer was rewarded for his excellent form in the current CPL, the surprise inclusion came in the form of Yannic Cariah, a leg-spinner who made his debut against New Zealand in the ODI series last month. Cariah, who is yet to make his T20I debut, has played just 4 games in the shortest format.

The 43-year-old said that the World Cup final will be played between hosts Australia and his home side, the West Indies. With no T20 specialists like Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell or Dwayne Bravo in the squad, Gayle's prediction left his fans stunned.
Even though the Windies are currently ranked 7th in the world and will have to play the Super 12 qualifiers first up, <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/cricket/chris-gayle-opts-out-of-cpl-to-focus-only-on-t10-tournament-6ixty-1656410743643">Chris gayle</a> feels that the current team is dangerous and can lift the trophy if the correct strategies are applied on matchdays.

In a low scoring-match, Jamaican power-hitter Andre Russell scored an unbeaten 70 off 31 balls against Punjab Kings to help Kolkata Knight Riders to register their second win in the IPL 2022. At one point, KKR were 51 for 4 before the Russell storm came. Andre hit 8 massive sixes and 2 fours in his innings.
In a chat with the host broadcaster after the match, Russell said, "Feeling awesome, this is the reason why we play the game. In that position, I know what I can do." 
Russell told that Sam Billings and he decided to wait for a few overs before taking charge from one end and look to get singles from the other end. Andre felt good to have Sam Billings on the crease as he was rotating the strike very well. Andre started to attack earlier as he thought the left-arm orthodox wasn't spinning the ball.
Russell further said, "Chahar was bowling extremely well, it was gripping as well."
Kolkata Knight Riders won the match by 6 wickets with 5.3 overs to spare and are currently on top of the points table.

A gusty Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) played with caution after losing three quick wickets in the powerplay and registered their first win of IPL 2022 as they defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 3 wickets at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
Chasing a modest 129-run target, RCB lost Anuj Rawat, Faf du Plessis, and Virat Kohli inside 13 deliveries with only 17 runs on the board. It seemed as if Bangalore would collapse like a house of cards as they used to do in the previous seasons after a top-order collapse.
However, all-rounders David Willey and Sherfane Rutherford stitched a 45-run stand and put RCB's chase on track. But Kolkata kept on taking wickets at regular intervals and at last RCB needed seven runs off 6 deliveries. The decision to hold Dinesh Karthik worked well for RCB as the wicketkeeper-batter smashed a six and a boundary to overhaul the target.

Earlier, Bangalore produced a spirited bowling performance and bundled out KKR to 128. Both KKR openers were dismissed early in search of big runs as Bangalore's bowlers started with hard-length deliveries. Nitish Rana went for a glory shot and threw his wicket away.
The others followed the counter-attacking game plan as well and failed miserably. Thus KKR lost seven wickets inside 12 overs. Andre Russell who arrived at the crease in the 9th over tried to steer the Kolkata innings with some big hits but failed to take his team out of Shambles as Harshal Patel ended his innings. Wanindu Hasaranga registered the best bowling figures for RCB with 4 wickets in 4 overs. Meanwhile, Harshal started with two wicket maidens and ended with the match figures of 2 for 11.

Both Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals and Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders have had forgettable starts to their IPL 2021 campaign. The two sides play each other in Mumbai in anticipation of course correction. KKR&nbsp;has been a side of great talent but failed to translate that into wins. 1 win from 4 games and captain Eoin&nbsp;Morgan is under pressure for delivering good results.

A storm hit the Wankhede stadium on Wednesday night. It rained sixes, 26 in total but after the dust settled, it was the Chennai Super Kings who registered an 18-run win vs KKR. Put into bat, Faf du Plessis powered CSK to 220/3 courtesy an unbeaten 95. KKR's run chase was derailed when they found themselves at 31/5. Then began the Andre Russell show. He smashed a 21-ball fifty and gave KKR hope. After that, Pat Cummins took CSK bowlers to the cleaners with 66 not out of just 34 balls. But no support from the other end meant that KKR were bowled out for 202.&nbsp;CSK have now become the first team to win at least 15 matches against 5 different opponents.

Like every season when they've won a title, Mumbai Indians lost their opening game of IPL&nbsp;but the defending champions will now be focused&nbsp;to return to winning ways. Opener and wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock is expected to return for Mumbai&nbsp;which will provide a slightly more stable Playing XI. A loss in the first game hasn't affected Rohit&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;who will also be looking to score some big runs for his team. The Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders on the other hand finished with a win in their opening game but that wasn't convincing enough by any standards. The middle-order looked brittle in the first game and along with Andre Russell's form, the Knight Riders are yet to fire all cylinders so far. With Mumbai&nbsp;being their Achilles' heel, KKR&nbsp;will be hoping to improve their head to head record as they have won only 6 games from 27 outings.&nbsp;

Battle of the big boys: Mumbai take on Kolkata 

All eyes will be on Andre Russell who has had a disappointing tournament so far with 71 runs only from 7 games

Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders have had a good run so far in the IPL&nbsp;with 4 wins from 7 outings and a win will reinforce&nbsp;their chances of making it to the playoffs. All eyes will be on Andre Russell who has had a disappointing tournament so far with 71 runs only from 7 games.&nbsp;

Knight Riders in search for their 3rd IPL title

With Eoin&nbsp;Morgan, Tom Banton and Pat Cummins&nbsp;in their ranks this time around, can KKR&nbsp;end a 6 year title drought?

Kolkata Knight Riders: in search for their 3rd IPL title

Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders - A team that has probably seen the most drama, maximum highs and many lows. Showcasing the ruthless style of cricket in the very first game of the inaugural edition,&nbsp;the franchise is often credited for making IPL the brand that it is today.
But just after their first&nbsp;2 games, things went downhill for KKR. After&nbsp;they failed to qualify for the playoffs in the first 3 editions, the team had a complete makeover. The captaincy duties shifted from Sourav&nbsp;Ganguly&nbsp;to Gautam&nbsp;Gambhir. The Delhi lad led from the front and KKR&nbsp;qualified for their first-ever playoffs that year. 2012 was the year which saw the Knights reign supreme as they lifted their maiden silverware.
Since 2014&nbsp;KKR&nbsp;has failed to win another title despite making it to the playoffs in 3 of the last 4 editions.
The franchise has made significant additions this year. Roping in England's 2019 World Cup-winning captain Eoin&nbsp;Morgan may prove to be a masterstroke. His&nbsp;inputs to current captain Dinesh&nbsp;Karthik&nbsp;will prove valuable.&nbsp;Hard-hitting batsman Tom Banton&nbsp;is also expected to give their shaky opening slot the much-needed stability. They also have youngsters like Shubman&nbsp;Gill and Nitish&nbsp;Rana in the ranks.
Kolkata&nbsp;also boasts a formidable bowling&nbsp;unit comprising of Pat Cummins, Kuldeep Yadav&nbsp;and&nbsp;Sunil&nbsp;Narine. Moreover,&nbsp;if Andre Russell continues to do what he does best, there could be no stopping the Knights this time around.&nbsp;
