With his outstanding 64-run hammer, West Indian all-arounder Andre Russell reminded everyone why he is among the world’s most dangerous T20 batters.

Indian Premier League 2024, 10th T20 match, IPL 2024, RCB vs KKR
Venue: M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
Date & Time: Friday, Mar 29, 7:30 PM
Pitch Report: The batting-friendly ground of Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is well-known for producing high-scoring matches. The batting squad can easily chase down seemingly impossible totals because of the short boundaries and lightning-fast outfield, which make no objective seem out of reach. But because the pitch favours the batsmen considerably, teams batting first should try to make a huge total, ideally far over 200 runs, to stay in the game.
