Andre Russell celebrated his birthday in style during match 48 of IPL 2025 between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, unleashing a jaw-dropping 106-meter six that stunned the crowd.
Facing Mitchell Starc in the death overs, Russell capitalised on a rare error from the Aussie speedster. Starc came around the wicket and missed his yorker, serving up a juicy waist-high full toss. Russell needed no second invitation—he stood firm and launched the ball straight back over the bowler’s head with immense force. The ball flew into the night sky and sailed into the stands, measured at a massive 106 meters.
It was a moment that perfectly captured Russell’s explosive style, and the fact that it came on his birthday made it even more special. The West Indian all-rounder soaked in the applause with a smile and a fist pump, reminding fans why he’s one of the most feared finishers in the game.
