IPL 2019, KKR vs SRH: All-round Andre Russell powers Kolkata to victory at Eden Gardens

Andre Russell smashed an explosive 49 to spoil David Warner's scintillating IPL comeback as KKR pulled off a dramatic six-wicket win over SRH.

Russell hammered four sixes and an equal number of boundaries in run sequence that read 6-6-1-4-1-4-6-4-0-6-1. 

Youngster Shubman Gill (18 not out) completed the formalities with two sixes off Shakib-Al-Hasan.

Promoted to open with Sunil Narine, Nitish Rana made full use of the opportunity and kept them in the hunt with a 47-ball 68.

Bollywood superstar and KKR Co-owner Shah Rukh Khan was also present at the Eden Gardens to support his team.

Earlier, Warner made a stupendous comeback with a scintillating 85, helping his side reach a challenging 181/3.

India World Cup probable Vijay Shankar also made a fine return to the Orange Army with a quick-fire unbeaten 24-ball 40 (2x4, 2x6) following Warner's exit in the 16th over.
