Andre Russell has retired from the IPL after 14 seasons with Kolkata Knight Riders. The West Indies all-rounder said he wants to leave the league on a high and not “fade out”. Russell will now join KKR’s support staff as their new power coach for the 2026 season. He said the role suits him because of the power and energy he brought as a player. Russell thanked KKR CEO Venky Mysore and co-owner Shah Rukh Khan for their support over the years. He added that he could not imagine playing in any colour other than KKR’s purple and gold. (PC: X)
