The Mumbai Indians (MI) have always had an upper hand against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) but the latter had a chance to get back at Rohit Sharma-led side on Tuesday but the two-time champions failed to get 31 in last 5 overs and suffered a 10-run loss.

KKR all-rounder Andre Russell responds to Bollywood actor and KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan’s Tweet about ‘disappointing’ performance of the team says at the end of the day it’s the game of cricket.

While talking about the tweet Russell said, “Yeah, I support that Tweet (from SRK) but at the end of the day the game of cricket... you are not sure until it's over. I think we are still confident, we still played some good cricket and I am proud of the boys.”

“You know, we are definitely disappointed but it's not the end of the world, it's only the second game and we are going to learn from it I just think it's a game of cricket,” he added.

The Kolkata-based franchise was on a complete roll at one point but then a couple of wickets went down and it then completely went downhill.

When asked about the loss, the explosive right-hand batsman said, “I have played hundreds of T20 games and I have seen games where teams cruise in on the driver's seat and then suddenly lose a few wickets, new batters come in and struggle to get away and that's what happened tonight. So, we definitely have to learn from this as I have said before.”

Disappointing performance. to say the least @KKRiders apologies to all the fans!
