No runs, no problem: KKR's Andre Russell enjoys dinner right after 3-ball cameo vs DC

The path towards IPL playoff got tougher for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) after the loss to Delhi Capitals on Thursday. DC beat KKR by four wickets and an over to spare, to climb the IPL 2022 points table. Apart from Nitish Rana and skipper Shreyas Iyer, no other KKR batters scored big runs. The biggest disappointment during the KKR vs DC match was Andre Russell, who had a short stay at the crease, lasting just three balls.

With KKR reeling at 5/83 fans expected Andre Russel to produce fireworks with the bat. The West Indian however lasted for just three deliveries, with Kuldeep Yadav getting him stumped by Rishabh Pant for a duck. Andre Russell stepped down the wicket and missed a delivery that went with the arm.

He was well out of his crease, which allowed Rishabh Pant the time to complete the stumping despite a fumble. However, what caught everyone's attention was Russell having dinner after reaching the dressing room at the Wankhede Stadium. The television cameras spotted him standing with a plate near the dinner table.
