KKR’s Rinku Singh-Andre Russell engage in face-off on flight amidst SRK’s “Lutt Putt Gaya”song
Rinku and Russell who have often expressed their love for Shah Rukh, co-owner of KKR sang a popular song from SRK’s latest hit Dunki – “Lutt Putt Gaya”.
The two-time IPL champions forayed into their IPL 2023 campaign on a positive note with 2 wins in as many matches. Their collective effort on the pitch has helped KKR break into the top 4 early in the points table. They are now tagged as one of the favourites this season in IPL.
KKR posted a video on their social media platforms where Rinku Singh can be seen humming Arijit Singh’s “Lutt Putt Gaya” starring Shah Rukh, on a flight.
The southpaw asked his senior teammate Russell to sing the same song amidst their flight and the Windies all-rounder replied,” You don’t sing that song, it’s my song.”
Notedly, Russell played the match-winning knock for KKR in their season opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He smashed 64 runs off 25 balls which was laced with three fours and seven sixes. While he has picked 4 wickets thus far this season.
The star all-rounder. was a pale shadow of his intimidating self in IPL 2023, managing just 227 runs from 14 matches and snaffling just seven wickets.
Speaking to the paps, Russell said that his mindset wasn’t right (in 2023) as he was thinking about failure more than thinking about going out and doing what he does best. When you have a mindset that he doesn’t want to get out, he thinks that’s a negative mindset for him.
He further added that he thinks he has been allowing himself to be under pressure, because he has been thinking too much.
It’s all about the mindset, as he said, and now more clear in his approach to every delivery.
Notably, on Friday,Russell completed 100 wickets in the the mega clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL clash at Chinnnaswamy Stadium.
In 114 matches, Russell has taken 100 wickets at an average of 24.05 and a strike rate of 15.57. His best bowling figures are 5/15.
