Marco Jansen bowled a short-of-length delivery wide outside off. Russell, who had earlier smashed two sixes in an over, attempted another big hit. However, a thick inside edge crashed into the stumps, silencing the KKR dugout and igniting chaos in the stands. Russell departed for 17(11), and Preity Zinta\u2019s jubilation told the story of an unforgettable heist.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Russell hammered 17 off 11 balls, including two sixes off Yuzvendra Chahal in the 14th over, briefly threatening to snatch the game. But his dismissal ended KKR\u2019s hopes.<\/p>\n\n
