Bengaluru: Kolkata Knight Riders' Australian opener Chris Lynn heaped praises on his West Indies teammate Andre Russell after the all-rounder snatched yet another victory for KKR on Friday at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
Lynn also said that Russell is a "billion dollar man for KKR."
"We keep putting him in tough situations and he keeps lifting his game. He is just too good. Two-hundred and fifteen was probably par on that wicket. Both teams gave opportunities. We dropped Kohli and AB de Villiers and RCB also dropped a couple of chances. Luck was on our side. Change of fortune for us. It is unbelievable and entertaining for us. He keeps doing it. He is a billion dollar man for KKR," Lynn said after the match.
Meanwhile, KKR skipper Dinesh Karthik asked his bowlers to take responsibility. Karthik was also all praises for Lynn, however, the wicket-keeper batsman also wants others to rise on the occasion. Karthik also praised Russell for his blitzkrieg knock.
"Those kinds of knocks, you don't talk much. We trust him as a player. It's important to give him an atmosphere where he's happy and he just keeps performing. Yes, it was hard to play strokes against spinners with the ball gripping but was easier against the fast bowlers," Karthik said after the game on Friday.
