West Indian powerhouse Andre Russell played a key role in Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) IPL 2024 win. Russell contributed incredibly with both bat and ball this season. Having been with KKR since 2012, his dedication was rewarded with a big title win for the Shahrukh Khan-owned franchise

Few cricketers in franchise cricket can match Andre Russell's overall excellence in field. Russell took 19 wickets in 14 innings, averaging 15.52 with an economy rate of 10.05. He also scored 222 runs in nine innings, averaging 31.71 with a strike rate of 185, including one half-century.

In the IPL 2024 final, he finished with stats of 3/19 in 2.3 overs as Kolkata emerged victorious against SRH.

In the latest video released by KKR, Andre Russell held the IPL trophy tightly, like he was holding his favorite toy. The happiness in his eyes was contagious. When Manish Pandey asked to hold the trophy, Russell playfully refused to give it up, holding onto it like a child.

Russell was part of the KKR squad that won the IPL in 2012 and 2014, but he only played seven games in total in both seasons. Despite that, he stayed with KKR for ten years and became an important player in Gautam Gambhir's 2024 team, which led to their victory this season.

This season, Russell has brought a new energy with his dances and songs. He's performed SRK's "Lutt Putt Gaya" multiple times this season and even officially appeared in the song "Ladki Tu Kamaal Ki" with Avika Gor.
