IPL 2022: Andre Russell Breaks Seat With Six During Kolkata Knights Rider Training Session. Watch -By ASC

Andre Russell’s ability to hit power deserves to be branded as ‘neighbor’s envy, owner’s pride’. Even in the previous Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) match against the Gujarat Titans in the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday, with his team chasing a 157 target, the Jamaican rider shot 48 of 25 balls (6x6s, 1x4s) before falling in the final game because KKR failed to win. However, Russell’s impressive performance was praised by everyone. Rival bowlers, however, may have different things to say with Russell’s aggression making their lives difficult.

Now, in a video posted on KKR social media, something different can be seen facing Russell’s brutal blows. After Russell gave a tonk to a bowler (not seen in the video) for a skier, a KKR support staff could be seen holding a broken chair. Russell’s attack was so strong that it left a hole in the chair. “Wait for the #MuscleRussell effect to come to an end!” read the caption of the 18 -second video clip.
