Kolkata Knight Riders’s barsman Andre Russell has hogged the limelight with his consistent yet insane performances in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). As Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on KKR at Chepauk on Tuesday, CSK released a video where MS Dhoni opined about Russell’s ability to clear the ropes at will. When CSK and KKR last met at Chepauk, Russell smashed a 36-ball 88 – an innings which comprised of 11 sixes.

Recalling the monstrous knock, Dhoni said in a video posted by CSK’s official Twitter account, “Do I have to go through the full nightmare? Do I have to recall that knock again? We get 9 fielders, there is the bowler and the keeper. Rest of the fielders are outside the circle. Nobody is allowed outside the ground. Wo kaun aisa banda hai jo itne chhakke maarta hai? (Which batsman hits so many sixes?).

 Despite batting lower down the order, Russell has scored 207 runs from 4 innings, and has been hailed as the Most Valuable Player of the 12th edition. It remains to be seen whether Dhoni, who remains to be one of the wisest cricketers in world cricket, manages to silence Russell as the two sides once again meet each other in Chennai.

Talking about the point table, KKR and CSK are sitting on the top two spots, with the former at the No. 1 position as a result of a better net run-rate. In overall head-to-head tally, CSK have an 11-7 lead over their rivals. Both teams have several quality spinners at their disposal. While CSK have Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir and Ravindra Jadeja in their squad, KKR too, boast of a quality spin attack in Sunil Narine, Piyush Chawla and Kuldeep Yadav.
