Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are currently locking horns with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 68th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at Eden Gardens. The game between the two teams went down the wire with both leaving no stone unturned to win the game.
Bowling first, after winning the toss, Kolkata Knight Riders had a great outing with the ball as they restricted Lucknow Super Giants to a total of 176 runs and then had a great start with the bat as Jason Roy and Venkatesh Iyer smashed 61 runs for the opening partnership inside the powerplay.

But after that, KKR lost wickets in clusters and were left tottering at 108/4. It was expected that Andre Russell would bring out his special in the final game. But this wasn’t the case as he was back in the hut for another low score. He had his matchup against Ravi Bishnoi but he couldn’t take him to the cleaners and was back for just 9 runs.
It was during the 16th over when Ravi Bishnoi bowled a fiery googly which Andre Russell tried to smash. He played the wrong line and missed the ball that went on to rattle his stumps and send him packing.
