The Caribbean star Andre Russell failed to live up to the expectations for Kolkata Knight Riders in their second match against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League 2023. He went back to the pavilion only on a golden duck; he fell prey to Karn Sharma on the third ball of the 12th over.
A section of cricket fans took to Twitter and brutally trolled Andre Russell for his poor performance with the bat. Fans came up with some hard and fast-lined remarks for Russell and ruthlessly trolled him for not living up to his stature.
Here’s how fans reacted:
