Knight Riders won the match against Desert Vipers by six wickets.
Earlier, Russell featured in a video posted by KKR where he could not hide his emotions while watching the trailer of Shah Rukh Khan’s movie ‘Jawan’ that released in 2023.
“Woww, So he’s playing more than one role in this movie. So, I think it’s gonna be another hit movie. Definitely like the action, the little funny sides of Shah Rukh. So you know, it’s just the trailer, just imagine watching the full movie. Hopefully it’s showing in Guyana and we can all go and watch it,” said Russell in the video.
