All-rounder Russell's returned to the pavilion after being ruled out of the match against Delhi has gone viral on the internet.
The Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders clashed in the 41-league match of the IPL series. Batting first, Kolkata scored 146 for 9 in 20 overs. Nitish Rana top-scored with 57 and captain Shreyas Iyer with 42.
Following this, Delhi won by 147 runs, losing 6 wickets at the end of the 19th over and won by 150 runs. Kolkata lost the match by 5 consecutive defeats.
Kolkata skipper Shreyas Iyer was dismissed in the first ball of the 14th over by Kuldeep Yadav. So Kolkata was in a bad position, losing 5 wickets for 83 runs. Russell, who was on the field at the time, was expected to play aggressively and add a large number of runs.
But for the first two balls, he took no runs. This was followed by the 3rd ball which he tried to hit a six but the ball went straight into the hands of wicket-keeper Rishabh and the batsman was stumped out. Following this he quickly returned to the rest room and went straight to have his dinner. This photo has gone viral on the internet. Many fans have been teasing him on social media, as if he purposely was run out on time because he of his hunger.
