By IANS News March 24, 2026 • 23:20 PM View: 205

Kolkata Knight Riders Power Coach: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have decided to retire jersey number 12 as a tribute to the legendary all-rounder Andre Russell, the West Indian star they have lovingly designated as the Eternal Knight, for his yeoman service to the Indian Premier League (IPL) side.

The three-time champions made the special announcement at their preseason event - Knights Unplugged 3.0 – on Tuesday evening.

Andre Russell, who has returned to the KKR setup as a ‘power coach’ ahead of the new season, had a distinguished 12-year tenure with the Kolkata Knight Riders, representing the franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL) from 2014 to 2025.
