Andre Russell Scripts History, Achieves Never-Done-Before Feat In IPL 2025
Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Andre Russell scripted history by becoming the first ever overseas batter to slam 1000 IPL runs at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Russell, who has been been a part of KKR since 2014, achieved the feat during the IPL 2025 encounter against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. There were two batters - Gautam Gambhir (1407) and Robin Uthappa (1159) - who achieved this feat before Russell but the West Indies international was the first overseas star to do so. Russell also completed 2500 runs for KKR in the tournament during his unbeaten 25-ball-57
