Andre Russell's stunning performance powered the Kolkata Knight Riders to a five-wicket win over Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore in Bengaluru.
The West Indian hit an unbeaten 48 runs off just 13 balls to hand KKR one of the most unlikeliest of wins this season.
"One over changes and the momentum changes...That's why I never give up. Once I am there, I know anything's possible," he said.
Ruthless. Relentless. Russel 💪🔥

KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan later took to Twitter to honour the player by superimposing his image on one of Bollywood's much-loved Baahubali character.
