KKR's toughest call, to end their 12-year tie with Andre Russell, was largely shaped by Chennai Super Kings' auction plan.

Andre Russell joins Gautam Gambhir in an elite list of IPL winners who have gone on to become coaches in the league.

In a tribute post in reply to Russell’s IPL retirement announcement, Shah Rukh said that Russell would be ‘passing down the wisdom,’ the muscle, and the ‘power’ to other members in the franchise.
