"IPL is ageing"- Twitter reacts to Andre Russell's shocking retirement ...Middle East

Legendary West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell has called time on his IPL career, bringing an end to his iconic journey with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KRK). Andre Russell decided to retire from the IPL after Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) released him ahead of the IPL 2026 auction.

Russell was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders for 11 years, and he had always made it clear that he wanted to play only for KKR and once the franchise moved on, he decided to step away from the IPL rather than join another team.

But Russell’s story with KKR isn’t over yet. The T20 World Cup-winning captain will take on a groundbreaking role as the IPL’s first-ever “Power Coach,” bringing his energy, experience, and game-changing insight to mentor the next generation of players.

Russell’s impact on the league is unforgettable. He was instrumental in KKR’s title wins in 2014 and 2024, thrilling fans with his thunderous hitting and handy bowling spells.

After retiring from international cricket in July 2025, the former all-rounder had focused on franchise cricket, and now he is set to channel all that experience into coaching in the IPL.
