Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have not had a very good start to their Indian Premier League (IPL) season as they have won just two matches so far with just one more to for the half-way stage of the season. Despite the low points tally, the Eoin Morgan-led side is still in the fifth place but two of the sides below them on the table have a game in hand and hence, they could drop down once again.

The side has been vastly inconsistent in the tournament so far. After winning the first match, they went on a four-match losing streak that saw nothing going right for them. However, with a win in their latest match, things seem to be back on track and they would the winning form to continue going forward into the season as they bid to make it to the playoffs of the IPL after a gap of two years.

‘It’s ok to not be ok’ – Andre Russell

One of KKR’s most feared players is all-rounder Andre Russell. The West Indian is well-known for his hitting prowess with the bat as well as his ability take wickets. Russell has not had a particularly great season so far although he has shown glimpses of his vintage self both with bat and ball. His position in the batting order has been subject to change and there have been calls for him to be promoted up the order although that doesn’t seem to happen. KKR would want him to get back to his best sooner rather than later, regardless.

Now, Russell posted a picture on his Instagram stories which has got people talking as it shows him visibly sad with a bottle of alcohol in his hand. The story was captioned, “It’s ok not to be ‘ok'” along with “Alcohol (emoji) helps all the time.” Fans have now made the story viral and are speculating that Russell is sad because of KKR’s poor run while others have stated that it could be nothing but a story posted while tipsy.
