Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) suffered a 10-run embarrassment against the Mumbai Indians on Tuesday. Shah Rukh Khan, the co-owner of the KKR franchise team, is in a lot of pain about this defeat and he has apologized to KKR fans via Twitter. At the press conference after the match, Andre Russell responded to Shah Rukh’s tweet. He said he supports the tweet, but a match cannot be the end of the world. We are all disappointed with this defeat, but KKR will make a strong comeback in the coming time, ”he said.
Russell said the pitch was responsible for a 10-run loss. The KKR team led by Eoin Morgan dominated most of the match but the team chased down 153 in the final overs. KKR needed just 30 runs in the final 27 balls, but finishers such as KKR’s Russell and Dinesh Karthik failed to win the team. Russell, who returned to the pavilion after scoring 9 out of 15 balls, said after the match, “It’s a difficult wicket, it’s not easy for a new batsman to get down in the crease and start playing.” ‘He said,’ There was uneven bounce so batting the pitch was not easy. No matter how good you are, you have to play some balls to get into the rhythm.
A disappointing performance. To say the least KKKRiders Apologies to all the fans!

Russell said, ‘Unfortunately the ball didn’t come off the bat of good finishers like me and Dinesh Karthik. If we were given some border roots, we would win. Asked about Shah Rukh’s tweet, Russell said, ‘I support this tweet. Of course we are disappointed but everything is not over yet. This was our second match. Russell said he will learn from mistakes and return for the next few games. He said, ‘We will prepare the strategy again. We are definitely playing good cricket as a team. We have to leave this match and be strong.
