How Russell became a hero from zero to power KKR to victory Vs PBKS
Umesh Yadav took 4/23 to scuttle Punjab Kings efforts to power KKR to their second victory. Odean Smith who was one of the heroes for PBKS in the previous game, could score only 9 runs. Their captain Mayank Agarwal once again let them down with a score in single digits. However, the root cause of their defeat was Umesh Yadav who took 4 wickets and conceded only 23 runs. Umesh has come a long way when he used to be the milch cow of all IPL teams, with his extra pace conceding runs freely. He should turn out to be a good bowler during the World Cup T20. Russell who was a zero in the previous match against RCB emerged as a hero today and scored more than 70 runs to power KKR to their second victory. Shreyas Iyer has been handling Umesh well and let's see how much KKR can travel in this tournament.
As far as PBKS are concerned, they are back to their old ways, conceding defeat easily. The fact that they didn't utilize their full quota of 20 overs is going to hurt them in this tournment.
