Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming yesterday said focussing too much on the big-hitting Andre Russell could backfire as Kolkata Knight Riders also have other quality batsmen in their line-up.

"Possibly, there are a couple of challenges. One is you ignore the other six [batsmen]. And in a team that has [Chris] Lynn, [Dinesh] Karthik and [Robin] Uthappa, you do that at your own peril. We've got to be careful, we don't focus overtly on Russell," he said ahead of today's match v KKR.
