Russell's rendition of the Hindi song was appreciated by his KKR teammates.

Andre Russell was the leading run-getter for KKR in last year's IPL, where the Kolkata-based franchise ended the league stage at fifth position, failing to qualify for the play-offs.

Russell had scored 510 runs in 14 games at an impressive strike rate of over 204.

The all-rounder also chipped in with the ball as he took 11 wickets in the tournament.

Russell was roped in by KKR as cover for Jacques Kallis back in 2014 and he has been an integral part of the team since then.

The 13th edition of the IPL was postponed indefinitely by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on April 16 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The ongoing health crisis has affected more than 3 million people worldwide.
