Russell was seen given some treatment by wicketkeeper batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz but he could not complete his over after developing cramps.
Russell, who is dealing with fitness issues for the past few IPL seasons, bowled for the first time this season when he bowled the fifth over and dismissed Mayank Agarwal (9) in his opening delivery.
He also grabbed the inform Rahul Tripathi in the final delivery of the same over and developed cramps in the second over and walked off the pitch after completing the over.
He however returned to the field but his cramps developed again. The KKR management is yet to give an official update on KKR’s injury.
