IPL 2021: Andre Russell's cryptic IG story with alcohol bottle hints distress due to rough patch in the season

The Indian Premier League 2021 is on in full swing and has almost reached the halfway stage of the league matches. While many teams are shining bright this time, many consistent sides have failed to get going this season. One such franchise is KKR, which has failed to capitalize on most of their occasions so far. In fact, their star all-rounder Andre Russell seems to have hit the rough patch.

In the same reference, Russell has come up with a cryptic Instagram story that shows his agitation with his current form. The Caribbean star posted his pic with a bottle of Old Monk and wrote, “It’s ok to not be ‘ok.’’ His latest picture has been doing rounds on social media and fans can only assume that he is being distressed with his form and fortune in the current season.

Talking about KKR, the franchise has only won two out of their six games so far in the league and are sitting at the 5^th slot in the points table. Talking about Russell, the skilled all-rounder has failed to get going with the bat as he has just 118 runs in his six games at an average of 19.66. His form seemed to be a matter of concern for the Knight Riders in the last season too. However, he has made sure to add in a little with the ball.

Various cricketers have also talked about how Russell’s position in the batting order is just not justified. He should come up the order rather than coming down. Even former cricketer and analyst Aakash Chopra stated that KKR are missing a trick with their superman.

“KKR is not giving Russell his full batting. They are sending him for too few deliveries. KKR have a bazooka but they are not using it. The opposition team is scared that Russell will come and hit but he comes so late, how will he create an impact,” stated Chopra on Russell recently.
