New Delhi. Kolkata Knight Riders i.e. KKR did not retain legendary all-rounder Andre Russell for IPL 2026. As soon as Andre Russell was released by KKR, it was being said that he might get a big bid in the auction. However, Andre Russell took retirement from IPL, but in the meantime Andre Russell has made a world record in T20 cricket, which any player will be hard-pressed to break, because no one is even close to breaking this record.

Andre Russell has become the first player in the world to have scored more than 5000 runs, more than 500 sixes and 500 wickets in his name in T20 cricket. There are many players in T20 cricket who have scored more than 5000 runs or taken more than 500 wickets or hit more than 500 sixes, but only one player has this achievement in his name, it is Andre Russell, who has set an amazing world record.

Former West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell has become the sixth bowler in the world to have taken 500 or more wickets in T20 cricket. Before Andre Russell, Rashid Khan, Dwayne Bravo, Sunil Narine, Imran Tahir and Shakib Al Hasan have achieved this feat. Andre Russell is at third place in terms of hitting most sixes in T20 cricket. Only Chris Gayle and Kieron Pollard are ahead of him. However, they are lagging far behind in terms of wickets.

Russell’s magic
However, Andre Russell is at 25th position in terms of scoring most runs in T20 cricket. Russell has so far scored 9508 runs in T20 cricket. However, if we combine and see if any one player has scored more than 5000 runs, more than 500 wickets and hit more than 500 sixes in this format, otherwise only one name will appear in the list and that is Andre Russell, who is currently 37 years old. He has taken retirement from international cricket. He is active only in different T20 leagues of the world.
