West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell celebrated the Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) IPL 2024 title win in a fun and stylish way. After KKR's commanding victory, Russell danced with Bollywood actress Ananya Panday to Shah Rukh Khan's hit song "Lutt Putt Gaya" from the movie "Dunki." The video of their dance quickly went viral on social media.


The Shreyas Iyer-led KKR team was in great form throughout the season. They clinched their third IPL title by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by eight wickets. Russell was a standout player in the match, taking three crucial wickets, which helped bowl out SRH for a mere 113 runs.


After the match, KKR captain Shreyas Iyer expressed his joy and pride in the team’s performance. He praised the team for their consistent efforts and flawless play throughout the season. Iyer acknowledged the long wait for this moment and described the team’s performance as invincible from the start to the end of the season. He highlighted the team's unity and support for each other in every situation.

"They have been playing phenomenal cricket - SRH - throughout the season. We were lucky to bowl first and every situation went in our favor. Thanks to SRH for the way they played. Looking forward to playing more competitive cricket," Iyer said.

Iyer also gave a special mention to Mitchell Starc, praising his hard work and readiness to perform in high-pressure games. He noted how Starc’s dedication and non-complacent attitude contributed significantly to the team's success.

Reflecting on Russell’s contribution, Iyer said, "He's got that magic wand. He always looks forward to picking up wickets. When I look at him, I know he can look at me, and we understand what needs to be done. All the guys stepped up at the right time. It has been a flawless season."


In summary, the KKR's win in IPL 2024 was marked by excellent teamwork, strategic gameplay, and standout performances by key players like Andre Russell and Mitchell Starc. The victory was a result of consistent and determined efforts by the entire team, and the celebrations that followed, including Russell's dance with Ananya Pandey, added a joyous note to their triumph.

Shah Rukh was indeed elated as his team won this year's IPL and was seen taking the victory walk on the ground, hugging and kissing his family and the team members.
