IPL 2019 | Twitter Goes Berserk After Russell Thrashes SRHIt was smooth sailing for Sunrisers Hyderabad before Andre Russell changed the course of the game with a 19-ball 49 to help Kolkata Knight Riders chase down 181 at Eden Gardens on Sunday (March 24).

How many times in the past has Russell won games like this for KKR? He continues to do so even today. #KKRvSRH

This isn’t the first time Andre Russell has played like this. Remember matches against CSK in Champions League and his 88 off 36 last season? Man! He is a champion! @Russell12A#IPL2019 #KKRvsSRH

David Warner and Jonny Bairstow got the visitors off to a very good start with the former showing his range and class after a long layoff.
Some things just do not change. And David Warner continues to be one of the most dangerous batters in the world. Class batsmanship, in and out. #KKRvSRH

Glorious 6 for his 50! Brutal hitting. Warner might as well showcase his right-handed stance today! #IPL2019

KKR's strategies are too predictable here. They need to change things quickly. T20 cricket is all about surprising the opponent. #KKRvSRH

Warner missed out on his ton as Kolkata came back with a flurry of wickets but Shankar’s cameo ensured Hdyerabad had 181 on board.
Always rated Shankar. Neat innings. The man has a base to work with #KKRvSRH

This is a fantastic knock from Vijay Shankar. I'm soooo happy to see him do this. #KKRvSRH

Been flying under the radar just a little bit, but Vijay Shankar has been performing very well in whatever capacity he's been afforded. This 24-ball 40* on a slowing wicket another fine effort. #KKRvSRH

In reply, Kolkata lost Chris Lynn early and it was Nitish Rana who opened with him and not Sunil Narine.
The decision of not opening with Narine seems like a well thought-out one for the KKR. Last season he struggled against Bhuvi in the powerplay. Hence, this time they haven't exposed him early. Perhaps, later Narine will be sent to upset Rashid's rhythm. #KKRvSRH

Uthappa though departed after adding 80 runs with Rana. Hyderabad then looked to pile on the pressure on the hosts.
Uthappa falls and still no #KKR pair has managed to put on a 100+ run-stand in the #IPL.
Highest KKR stands vs SRH in the IPL: -
92 - Gambhir/Uthappa, 2016
87 - Pandey/YK Pathan, 2016
80 - Uthappa/Rana, 2019#KKRvSRH #MakeStatsGreatAgain #KKRHaiTaiyaar #RiseWthUs

Rana scored a vital 68 and kept his team in the hunt.
3 hours 20 minutes into the game, 10 mins to go for the second match of the day and we are still five overs away from the end.#TimelessT20s#IPL2019 #KKRvSRH

Russell then hit Sidarth Kaul for 19 runs in an over before going after Bhuvneshwar Kumar to turn things around for his side. He finished with 49 in 19. With 13 needed in the last over, Gill finished the game off with a couple of sixes.

The ONE time that #KKR managed to be ahead of where #SRH were was at the end of the match.
Dre Russ: Take a bow!#KKRHaiTaiyaar #KorboLorboJeetbo #KKRvSRH #IPL #IPL2019
