Andre Russell just hung up his IPL boots with only two weeks left before the mini-auction, and Shah Rukh Khan posted this emotional tribute about the West Indies player joining KKR's coaching staff. The Bollywood actor thanked him for being their knight in shining armor and hyped up his new gig as power coach alongside Abhishek Nayar's setup with Shane Watson and Tim Southee.
Russell apparently had multiple heart-to-hearts with SRK before taking the role, and he'll be teaching the younger guys his signature power-hitting style. During his run with Kolkata Knight Riders, he racked up 2,593 runs and grabbed 122 wickets, which is pretty solid stats for the purple and gold squad.
Shah Rukh, who's owned KKR since 2008 with Jay Mehta as his partner, joked that any other jersey would look weird on Russell and called him Muscle Russell for life.
