WATCH: Ishant Sharma floors Andre Russell with a toe crushing yorker; Russell applauds

Amidst all the carnage by the KKR batters, Ishant Sharma maintained his cool to bamboozle Russell. 
 

Delhi Capitals (DC) pacer Ishant Sharma bowled an inch-perfect yorker during their clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) to castle big-hitter Andre Russell. 

Amidst the carnage inflicted by KKR, one particular instance that stood out as the defining moment of the match for the Capitals was Ishant Sharma's toe-crushing yorker to the West Indies all-rounder. 

The devastating power of the West Indian batsman's aggressive strokes left the Delhi team bewildered. However, Ishant Sharma saved his finest moment for the last over, drawing upon his wealth of experience to deceive Andre Russell with a perfectly executed inswinging yorker.

Russell found himself sprawled on the ground after being struck by a toe-crushing yorker. As he struggled to regain his footing and lower his bat, the sight of his scattered stumps stood as a testament to Ishant's skill. Russell, visibly impressed by Ishant's mastery, applauded the seasoned fast bowler as he retreated to the dugout.

Russell cracked 41 off 19 balls laced with four fours and three sixes. He also completed 200 sixes for KKR.

The seasoned Sunil Narine and young Angkrish Raghuvanshi struck scintillating half-centuries to power Kolkata Knight Riders to an imposing 272 (second-highest team total in IPL history) for seven against Delhi Capitals.



Batting first, Narine blasted 85 in a mere 39 balls while the 18-year-old Raghuvanshi smashed his way to 54 off 27 deliveries, as the DC bowlers ran for cover.
