We have to go about it as smartly - Andre Russell

Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Andre Russell ahead of the final talked about the challenge of playing big final at Chennai. He stated that they need to be smart in the game. He had said:

"I think Chennai is a big ground, kind of a weird condition, you don't know what to expect. The last time we played there against Chennai, the wicket looked good. I didn't expect the wicket to play the way it did,"

"We have to go about it as smartly as possible, taking it one game at a time. I think when the time comes, we've been adjusting well as a bowling unit. If the wicket is a bit slow, we can use power cutters but not be too predictable,” he concluded.
