(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Andre Russell unleashed his fury with an unbeaten 25-ball 64 after Phil Salt's solid fifty, propelling Kolkata Knight Riders to a commanding 208 for 7 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in an IPL match on Saturday. Salt, drafted in as a replacement for Jason Roy, notched up his third IPL fifty in just 38 balls before falling to Mayank Markande's (3/39) guile. Russell then took charge, smashing Markande for three consecutive sixes, and later pummeled Bhuvneshwar Kumar's penultimate over for 26 runs. Rinku Singh contributed with a quickfire 23 off 15 balls as KKR amassed 85 runs in the last five overs. Despite a sedate start, KKR's late surge, led by Russell's onslaught, set a daunting target for SRH.
