    IPL 2024: Russell's Blazing 64*, Salt's 54 Help KKR Post 208/7 After Early Stumble

    By IANS News March 23, 2024 • 21:46 PM View: 919
    Kolkata Knight Riders: Andre Russell struck a blazing half-century after Phil Salt had set the foundation with a 40-ball 54 to help Kolkata Knight Riders reach 208/7 in 20 overs and set Sunrisers Hyderabad the biggest chase ever at the Eden Gardens in the third match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 here on Saturday.

    Phil Salt, who went unsold in the auction but came in as a replacement, struck three sixes off Marco Jansen in the third over but KKR lost three quick wickets to be 32/3 in the Power-play. Salt went on to complete a well-compiled 54 but Russell, who smashed seven maximums and three boundaries, changed the complexion of the match with brilliant, clean power-hitting as he and Rinku Singh raised 77 runs off four overs as KKR scored the first double-century score of IPL 2024 to leave SRH a big chase on their hands.

    After the seasoned Bhuvneshwar Kumar gave away only three runs in the opening over for SRH, Salt waded into Marco Jansen, smashing him for three sixes in the second over before some balance was restored as Sunil Narine ran himself out off the final delivery of the over, going for a non-existent single.
