Russell has been playing for KKR since 2014, winning the IPL trophy twice with the team.
The festival of cricket, IPL 2025 starts today, and the first match will be between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (KKR vs RCB) at Eden Gardens. It promises to be a spectacular show because both teams have a fierce history and rivalry over the years. IPL 2025 gives players the chance to break existing records, which is exciting.
Andre Russell’s chance to surpass Robin Uthappa
Kolkata’s veteran all-rounder Andre Russell has the chance to surpass Robin Uthappa’s record during the match between RCB and KKR. Currently, Andre Russell is the third-highest scorer for the Kolkata Knight Riders across all seasons, with 2,426 runs in 120 matches. Robin Uthappa is second with 2,439 runs in 86 matches. If Russell scores 14 runs, he could become the second-highest scorer for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League.
