Andre Russell jams to SRK latest Hit
The KKR star was filmed singing along to “Lutt Putt Gaya” from Shah Rukh Khan’s latest film, Dunki. Cruising in his car, Andre Russell displayed a surprising knack for Hindi, seemingly effortlessly pronouncing parts of the catchy song by Arijit Singh. This lighthearted video highlights Andre Russell’s growing fondness for Indian culture, likely fostered by his long association with the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Longstanding bond with KKR-SRK
Andre Russell’s association with KKR began in 2014, and he has become an indispensable part of the team’s success. He shares a strong connection with several Indian players, a bond undoubtedly strengthened by his involvement with the SRK-owned franchise.
Gearing Up for IPL 2024
With the IPL 2024 season kicking off on March 22nd, Russell is clearly amped and ready to contribute to KKR’s campaign. The team, looking to bounce back from two disappointing seasons, will begin their journey with a match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 23rd.
Russell SRK Tribute
This isn’t the first time Russell has shown his admiration for Shah Rukh Khan. Earlier this year, during the ILT20 league in the UAE, Russell paid homage to SRK by replicating his iconic pose after a group-stage match. Interestingly, SRK was present in the stands for that match, cheering on his team, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.
Andre Russell’s enthusiasm is a positive sign for KKR fans. His love for the team and its co-owner, along with his exceptional skills, makes him a true asset to the Kolkata Knight Riders. Can Russell lead KKR to IPL glory in 2024?
