- SPORTZPICS / IPL

Andre Russell announced his arrival in IPL 2022 and left Punjab Kings dumbstruck with an unbeaten 31-ball 70 as Kolkata Knight Riders sailed home by six wickets and 33 balls to spare. Russell paired with Sam Billings (24, 23b, 1x4, 1x6) for a 90-run partnershi­p off 45 balls after Rahul Chahar’s twin strikes in the seventh over left Kolkata bleeding at 51 for four, chasing 138. Umesh Yadav continued his rich vein of form with the ball, scalping four for 23 as the big-hitting powerhouse Punjab was bowled out for 138.
