Andre Russell showcases how heavy his bats are

Russell is shown methodically scrutinizing the bats he received from the manufacturers in a video posted by KKR on their social media handle, with the caption "Dre Russ' bats go through a weight training too." Each bat was weighed, and the results varied. The results were surprising, with one bat weighing 1299 grams and another weighing 1315 kg.

"I don't feel like that, though. This feels heavier. I want to take this (bat portion) off. This is heavy. Feel the bat. And then feel this one. So, even though this is saying it's lighter, it's heavier than this, which is weird," Russell expressed in the video.

So far in the IPL 2024, Andre Russell has optimally utilised his stick. He will be looking forward to putting the weight of the bat behind the ball in KKR's next fixture. Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Chennai Super Kings next.
