KKR Playing XI vs PBKS: What’s wrong with Russell?
- Andre Russell didn’t complete his quota of four overs.
- He picked up a niggle and bowled with a sore shoulder.
- He was taken for scans after the match.
- While doubts prevailed about his fitness, he has made it to the playing XI.
“Dre had run around the boundary and dived, and unfortunately picked up a little bit of a bump. His shoulder was a little bit sore. But Dre being Dre, he still wants to try to get the job done, and he wasn’t quite able to. Those are things which happen in low-scoring games,” Brendon McCullum said in the post-match press conference after their previous game.

However since he is nursing the shoulder injury, it remains to be seen whether he would bowl in this game. That might have also prompted the team to bring in Shivam Mavi in place of Sheldon Jackson. With Venkatesh Iyer also at their disposal, KKR now have sufficient bowlers to replace Andre Russell.

Ajinkya Rahane & Iyer to open – Rahane had a bad game in the RCB match but KKR should not panich just yet. Rahane did well in the first match against CSK and should retain his place until the next match.
