Shahrukh’s anger logical: Andre Russell

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Andre Russell reacted to KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan’s tweet after their defeat to Mumbai Indians by 10 runs in IPL 2021 match No.5 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday.

KKR failed to chase down to 153-run target set by MI despite being at 122 for 4 at the end of 15 overs, needing only 31 runs off the last 5 overs with six wickets in hand. The shock defeat left Shah Rukh Khan disappointed as the Bollywood actor took to Twitter to apologies to the fans.

"Disappointing performance. to say the least @KKRiders apologies to all the fans!" Shah Rukh wrote on Twitter.

Russell, who was expected to take KKR over the line along with former captain Dinesh Karthik, said he supports that reaction from Shah Rukh when he was asked about the co-owner’s tweet in the post-match virtual press conference.
