Asked about his plan for David Warner, he said, "I was planning for him. I have seen the Delhi wicket; it was holding and keeping low. So I was trying to give him a single or two (and contain boundaries), mixing the pace and variation." "It has been very good. I have been working very hard since the domestic season. I have been working very hard with Adrian (Le Roux - KKR Trainer) and also on my bowling with Brad Hogg and some of the senior players. And if you can perform like this, you feel good," the 21-year old Chinaman spinner added. "They keep telling me about how to plan for various batsmen. During net sessions, they also keep telling me how to bowl to an attacking batsman or a defensive batsman. So that really helped me a lot," he said.

"A lot of people ask me if he (Samuels) is from Jamaica. He is from Jamaica but he is a different Jamaican. He is a confident fellow. He has won the World T20 twice, as you know after winning the World T20. He played a tremendous knock against Sri Lanka in 2012 and he had done it again in the final against England this year," Russell said. "I heard that when he went inside the post match press conference, he did put his foot up. I don't know how to explain that but it wasn't good," he said when asked about Marlon Samuel's act after World T20.
