West Indian all-rounder Andre Russell continues to dominate with both bat and ball for the Kolkata Knight Riders. So far in the 2022 IPL, Dre Russ has scored 227 runs at an average of 45.40. He is also the second-highest run-scorer for KKR.
Similarly, Russell has continued tormenting bowlers with top-notch power-hitting as he is batting with a strike rate of 180.16 while hitting 12 fours and 22 sixes. But recently, his incredible shot-making has also made the life of his fellow teammates difficult. The KKR Instagram has posted a video where Andre Russell is seen breaking through chairs with his powerful batting.
The video was captioned, “Wait for the #MuscleRussell impact at the end! ? @ar12russell • #KnightsInAction presented by @glancescreen | #KKRHaiTaiyaar #IPL2022”.

He’s a fantastic player who generates a lot of enthusiasm,” Finch
Andre Russell’s teammate Aaron Finch has also praised him for an incredible season so far as he said, “I’ve played with him in the Big Bash previously. He’s a fantastic player who generates a lot of enthusiasm.”
“He can bowl fast and hit the ball far. People enter through the gates to keep an eye on him. He’s great to have on your team since he can change the game with the ball or bat. He’s just ridiculously powerful.”
