The right-handed batter smashed three consecutive sixes off Theekshana in the 18th over of KKR\u2019s innings. He hit a maximum over wide-long-on before smoking the other two towards the sight screen and the wide long-off, respectively, to complete the over.<\/p>\n<p>During his knock, Russell became only the third batter after Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa to complete over 1,000 runs at Eden Gardens. He took just 32 balls to reach his first fifty of the ongoing 2025 season. The 37-year-old also shared a 61-run partnership with Angkrish Raghuvanshi for the fourth wicket.<\/p>\n<p><em>Watch Andre Russell\u2019s hat-trick of maximums vs Maheesh Theekshana below:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<h2>Andre Russell smashes 50 as KKR set a 207-run target for RR in IPL 2025 match<\/h2>\n<p>Andre Russell starred with the bat as the Knight Riders posted 206\/4 against the Royals in their IPL 2025 game.
