Teams needed all-rounders, don't know why Russell retired: Srikkanth
Former India captain Kris Srikkanth expressed surprise at KKR all-rounder Andre Russell's decision to retire from the IPL ahead of the 2026 auction. "There were [many] reports that CSK might even pick him as an all-rounder because they need one. And even other teams were looking for the same thing," he said. Srikkanth added, "I don't know why he retired."
