Meanwhile, KKR had posted a video of the West Indies player practicing his shots during a practise session 2 days ago. In the video, Andre Russell keeps sending all deliveries soaring into the air when thrown at him. However, one particular delivery was hit so hard by Russell, that he ended up breaking one of the recording camera glasses.
Kolkata Knight Riders went on to captione the video, "Oh gosh! That’s SMASHED – wait for the last shot.. #MuscleRussell warming up to his devastating best! @Russell12A #KKRHaiTaiyaar #Dream11IPL.” Watch the entire video below.
