Match Result -KKR won by 4 wickets
MOM - Andre Russell

Andre Russell's spectacular all-round performance helped defending champions KKR thrashed KXIP  by 4 wickets

Andre Russel a blistering 66(36 Balls 4x9 and 6x2) after his KKR were reeling at 60 for five as KKR cantered to victory target of 156 in 17.5 overs from a near losing position

Andre Russel added 95 runs in 9.2 overs for the sixth wicket with Yusuf Pathan (28 no) to take his team home which looked unlikely after the first eight overs when half of the team was back in the dug-out. 

It was a day to remember for Russell as he first took 2/39 in 4 Overs while bowling apart from couple of smart catches during KXIP innings.
