Mumbai, Apr 11 (IBNS): Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag was left impressed by the hard-hitting batting display by Sam Billings of Chennai Super Kings and Andre Russell of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) during their clash in Chennai on Tuesday.

"What a welcome back to the IPL for Chennai. First Russell’s 11 sixes , then Billings ‘ brilliance and a Chennai victory. Romba Nalla ! #CSKvKKR," Sehwag tweeted appreciating the cricketers.

After his stormy knock, CSK reached the target of 203 runs by losing five wickets with Sam adding 23-ball 56 runs with his willow.
