    What's the story

    West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell has completed 100 wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

    Russell reached the landmark while playing for Kolkata Knight Riders against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2024 encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

    He entered the 100-wicket club with his second scalp.

    Russell is the first overseas player with 100 wickets and 2,000 runs in the tournament.

    Career

    His ability to single-handedly win games from tough situations has been a boon for KKR.

    Russell has now completed 100 IPL wickets in his 114th encounter in the cash-rich league.
