In the 32nd match of the IPL 2016, KKR and Kings XI Punjab locked horns at the Eden Gardens and the home team batting first put up a total of 164 on the board.

KXIP all-rounder Glenn Maxwell came back to form and threatened to take the game away from KKR as he scored a quick-fire 68 off just 42 balls. After his departure, Axar Patel’s cameo of 21 off just 7 balls brought KXIP back into the game.

But there was a twist to the tale. KKR’s prolific all-rounder Andre Russell showed his death-bowling skills and bowled a brilliant last over to set the match for the Kolkata franchise. He conceded only 4 runs in the all-important last over and also had a hand in the important run-out of Axar Patel. The West Indian also picked up a wicket to win the match for his team.

Kudos to Andre Russell!
