With 232 on board, KKR posted the highest score of the season against Mumbai Indians. Shubman Gill played a wonderful knock of 76 but Andre Russell grabbed all attention with his 40-ball 80. Twitter heaped praise on the Caribbean and KKR as they managed to fetch 55 in the last three overs.

High praises from the God of cricket!

Massive total put up thanks to some fantastic batting by , and . However, with a beautiful surface to bat on and a lightning quick outfield, this could turn out to be a very close game. What do you think guys? 😊

Gill played a brilliant knock today!

Shubman Gill has played some finest innings this season and today's was one of them.👏👏

The thing to marvel about Russell’s batting this season, more than the power, is the consistency. Breathtaking stuff! 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The only thing that goes faster than Andre Russell's sixer is RCB going out of the tournament.

It was Russell vs Bumrah!

That 19th over by Bumrah to Russell was a treat to watch & what made it more interesting was your commentary !!! Just amazing stuff, loved your energy and innovativeness- "Every ball is a free hit when Russel bats"-
