Rajasthan Royals fast bowler Trent Boult said on Wednesday that he will have to make a special strategy for the returning batsman Andre Russell. With the help of Russell’s 23-ball 42, Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Punjab Kings by five wickets in the last match. Bolt said before the match against KKR, “Russell is one of the most aggressive batsmen in T20 cricket. He has more than 600 sixes in this format. A special strategy has to be made for him. “He said,” I have managed to get him out on a few occasions. But for that a very clear strategy has to be made. He is a big player for KKR. Rinku Singh has helped him and has become a good death over batsman.
The Royals lost two of the last three matches despite scoring more than 200 runs. Bolt said it shows the quality of the tournament. He said, “This shows the quality of cricket being played in the IPL. No score is safe. 90 percent of the matches are stretched till the last over. You have to respect the players. Lots of exciting cricket is being played.
