Andre Russell, the powerhouse from West Indies and a key player for Kolkata Knight Riders, received high praise from none other than the team’s co-owner, Shah Rukh Khan, who hailed him as the ‘Fashionista’ of cricket. Speaking on Star Sports, Shah Rukh Khan described Russell as not only a phenomenal cricketer but also a trendsetter in fashion. He fondly compared Russell’s style to that of cricketing legend Chris Gayle, emphasizing his admiration for the player’s fashion sense.
The camaraderie between Russell and his teammate Rinku Singh, according to Shah Rukh Khan, echoes the iconic friendship of Jai and Veeru from the Bollywood classic ‘Sholay’.
Amidst the accolades, the exciting news broke that Andre Russell would be making his debut in the Hindi music video scene with ‘Ladki Tu Kamaal Ki’, featuring Avika Gor. The first glimpse of the video quickly gained traction on social media platforms, stirring anticipation among fans.
In another interesting revelation, former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram shared an amusing anecdote about the peculiar routine of West Indies stars Sunil Narine and Andre Russell during their time in India for the IPL. Akram, who previously worked as a bowling coach for Kolkata Knight Riders, disclosed that both players adopted a nocturnal lifestyle, staying awake through the night and sleeping during the day to align with their Caribbean time zone, despite the significant time difference with India.
Akram humorously recounted his interaction with Sunil Narine, who appeared with tired eyes during breakfast, attributing his exhaustion to sticking to his West Indies sleep schedule. The revelation sheds light on the unique lifestyle adjustments made by international players to cope with the demands of the IPL season.
