The Kolkata Knight Riders have been inconsistent in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). While KKR’s batting department has continued to struggle, Its bowling department has flopped in most of the games. Andre Russell, who plays a leading role in both the departments for KKR, has also been less impressive this season. Regardless, Russell has remained one of KKR’s most important players over the past many years.
In the past few years, however, Russell has struggled with his knee and in a chat with Star Sports, the West Indian opened up on how the Knight Riders helped him with his treatment.
“Where I was, a few years ago, KKR actually make things happen for me where they send me to get proper treatments on my knees. That’s something special to me to be honest. No other franchise or even my country never really invest that much on me,” Russell said.

“I’m happy here. I don’t see any other franchise I would love to be a part of in this tournament because I’ve been here for about 9 years now. Been here for so many years, I meet these guys, get closer to them every year. When cricket isn’t there, I’m still in communication with Mr Venky (Mysore). I look up to him, I really respect him,” the all-rounder further stated.
