Abu Dhabi, November 6, 2025: Andre Russell has achieved one of the biggest milestones of his T20 career, becoming one of the few players in the world to complete 500 wickets in the format. The landmark came during the DP World ILT20 match between Abu
Dhabi Knight Riders and Desert Vipers, where Russell claimed his 500th wicket.
To mark this special moment, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders presented Russell with a customised ‘500’ jersey, celebrating his incredible contribution to the team and to T20 cricket.
Known for his raw pace, power and game-changing performances, Russell has been one of the most impactful T20 cricketers of his generation. He has delivered for Knight Riders teams around the world, representing Kolkata Knight Riders, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders,

The Knight Riders family is immensely proud of Russell’s achievement, recognising it as a standout moment in his career and a milestone that highlights his long-standing excellence in leagues across the globe.
