Andre Russell is one of the most popular cricketers in the world, and whenever he walks out on the field, there is a sense of excitement among the fans. In the Caribbean, he is an even bigger star, and people flock to the stadiums to watch him hit big sixes. So, a lot was expected of him when he walked out to bat against Antigua and Barbuda Falcons with TKR in a tricky position, but the big man disappointed his fans and departed for a golden duck.
It was the 14th over of TKR innings and was already an eventful over with Fabian Allen getting rid of Tim David after being hit for a six. Russell came in, and Allen bowled a full delivery on off. The star batter just pushed it off the front foot but ended up hitting it aerially and handed the catch to Joshua James to create shockwaves across Queen's Park Oval. The camera also showed a female fan's surprised reaction, as it was a big heartbreak for the home crowd.
Kieron Pollard Takes TKR To A Competitive Total
Russell's wicket was a big blow to Trinbago Knight Riders, but Kieron Pollard stood tall on a difficult pitch. He first build a solid stand wit Tim David and after the double blow in the 14th over, he took the responsibility on his shoulders and scored crucial 45 runs to take TKR to 134.
It is a difficult pitch, and Knight Riders struggled throughout their innings as they were reduced to 42-4 in the ninth over. Falcons though could not get rid of Pollard till the last over, and that could prove costly in the end. TKR would qualify for the playoffs if they win this game and at the time of writing, Falcons are struggling in the run-chase with two early wickets.
