Kolkata Knight Riders snatched defeat from the jaws of victory against defending champions Mumbai Indians in an IPL-14 encounter at Chennai on Tuesday, but all-rounder Andre Russell insisted that it was not the end of the road. The KKR batsmen choked at the finish line and the team eventually fell short by 10 runs in a low-scoring encounter that saw MI setting a target of 153.

“At the end of the day, it’s a game of cricket and you are not sure till it’s over. We are still confident. We still played some good cricket and I am proud of the boys. We definitely feel disappointed but it’s not the end of the road. It’s only the second game and we are going to learn from it,” Russell said at the post-match virtual press conference on Tuesday night.
