MUMBAI: Andre Russell (@Russell12A) and Hardik Pandya (@hardikpandya7) were the stars of week 5 of the ongoing IPL 2019.
Some outrageous hitting by the duo kept fans on the edge and Twitter buzzing. Russell’s 40-ball 80* took KKR to a daunting 232/2. That knock should’ve sealed the match, but things got close courtesy Pandya’s breathtaking 34-ball 91. In the end Kolkata clinched the win, but fans on Twitter couldn’t stop talking about it.
