Total carnage is surely what Andre Russell decided for today as he smashed the Punjab Kings bowlers all across the park in match 8 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 game at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder came in when the side had lost some crucial wickets. He along with Sam Billings first steadied the innings and soon the Russell Muscle show began.
Russell's unbeaten 70 off 31 deliveries included two boundaries and EIGHT sixes. He was at his destructive best as KKR chased down 138 inside 15 overs.
Not just that, when he was nearing his half-century he hit a boundary that almost smashed the umpire, who had to duck to save his life.

70(31)* 2x4 & 8x6
Congratulations skipper @ShreyasIyer15 & @KKRiders for the 2nd win of the season. Impressive bowling by @y_umesh. And #AndreRussell took the team over the line. #AmiKKR #KKRHaiTaiyaar pic.twitter.com/vxf9cvoHqK
Earlier KKR had won the toss and opted to bowl. Umesh Yadav who found his form continued to wreak havoc with the new ball as he claimed four wickets.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa did try to stabilise things for Punjab, but the southpaw lasted just nine balls and managed to score 31 runs with three fours and as many sixes.
Besides Rajapaksa, Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, and Raj Bawa also got starts, but could not convert to high scores. A handy 25-run cameo from Kagiso Rabada helped Punjab post 137, but that was the maximum they could do.
