Andre Russell has been a legend for KKR and has played a big role in their success over the years. His match-winning knocks under pressure have often been game-changers for KKR, and despite coming to the fag-end of his career, the Caribbean star is still going strong.

Andre Russell Becomes 2nd Player To Cross 2500 Runs For KKR In IPL

Now, with a blistering knock against RR, the man has crossed 2500 runs for KKR in IPL, and is only behind Gautam Gambhir who has 3035 runs for KKR in IPL. Robin Uthappa is third in the list with 2439 runs in 84 innings.

 Andre Russell was promoted to number 5 against KKR, and the batter displayed why he is still one of the best in the world and smashed a 22-ball fifty. It is also the fastest fifty for a KKR batter in IPL 2025, surpassing Ajinkya Rahane's 24-ball fifty against RCB.

The Caribbean superstar also became the third batter to score over 1000 runs at Eden Gardens in T20s. Russell ended up with an unbeaten knock of 57 from 25 balls with 4 fours and 6 sixes.

Most T20 Runs At Eden Gardens

1462 - Gautam Gambhir

1047 - Andre Russell

Along with Andre Russell, the likes of Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Ajinkya Rahane, Gurbaz and Rinku Singh also contributed and KKR managed to reach 206 runs in their allotted 20 overs. This was the first time that Russell has made an impact with the bat in IPL 2025, and KKR fans would be hoping that he continues to deliver in the same vain in the remainder of the tournament.
