Andre ‘Dre Russ’ Russell is just as passionate about Bollywood as he is about bludgeoning Sixes. The West Indian all-rounder got his groove on to SRK’s newest hit, ‘Lutt Putt Gaya, ‘ and is also showing off slick Hindi skills.
It’s no surprise that Dre knows King Khan so well after bonding with several Desi teammates through Kolkata Knight Riders. The franchise first signed him up in 2014, and he’s been a stalwart ever since.
Wrapping ILT20 duty, attention now turns to the IPL as Dre arrives in India next week. KKR shared his pumping prep vid for the March 22 launch, no doubt hoping his big hits can lift them from recent lows.
Emulating SRK is nothing new for the devoted fan. Dre paid tribute to the superstar watching on at an Abu Dhabi match with a signature pose. No wonder he’s so Bollywood-versed under Shah Rukh’s Knight Riders jersey!
As KKR looks to roar back, they’ll rely on Dre Russ to muscle them forward against Sunrisers on March 23. With his blend of batting barnstorming and enthusiasm for masala hits, he’ll again be box office gold for fans.
