IPL 2019: Andre Russell Hits Net Session, Likely To Play Against Royal Challengers Bangalore
Apr 3, 2019 at 7:20 PM
It was an incredible night when Andre Russell took Delhi Capitals’ bowlers to the cleaners at Feroz Shah Kotla. His heroics almost sealed the victory for the team but ended up losing the game in a super over. During the course, he was hit by Harshal Patel on his left shoulder, which kept him away from the drills for a day.
Despite missing the drills after the game day, the all-rounder returned to the nets on Wednesday at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. He looked as fit as ever and whacked the ball with the same intensity. So, it seems like he is all set to put RCB bowlers on their toes during the match.
The franchise revealed the video of Andre Russell, where he padded up and entered nets to get start his practice. The clean striker of the ball defended a couple of balls before whacking it out from the presence.
He skipped the nets for a day after copping that blow to his shoulder, but it didn’t take long for
@Russell12A to get back to his regular drills
Guess who's back 😉
