Andre Russell and powerful sixes go hand-in-hand and the Jamaican who is celebrating his 37th birthday today showed a glimpse of why he is still one of the most fearsome hitters of the cricket ball. In Match 48 of IPL 2025 between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, Russell launched Mitchell Starc over his head in the final over of the KKR innings as the Aussie pacer just about missed his mark attempting a yorker and offered a low full toss. The ball went as long as 106 meters and landed in the media box at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Longest Sixes in IPL 2025 SHAPE \* MERGEFORMAT 107M - Heinrich Klaasen (SRH) vs MI, Hyderabad, April 23 106M - Andre Russell (KKR) vs DC, Delhi, April 29 (tonight)* 106M - Abhishek Sharma (SRH) vs PBKS, Hyderabad, April 12 105M - Travis Head (SRH) vs RR, Hyderabad, March 23 105M - Phil Salt (RCB) vs GT, Bengaluru, April 2 KKR restricted to 204/9 despite a powerful start Having been put into bat, KKR got off to a flier courtesy their openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine and zoomed up to 79/1 at the end of the 6-over powerplay. They looked well on course to get a score well in excess of 200 but DC's spin attack led by the skipper Axar Patel pulled things back with regular wickets in the middle overs and some splendid death bowling and fielding from Mitchell Starc and Dushmanta Chameera meant that KKR could only manage 45/5 in the last five overs and eventually managed a competitive total of 204/9 despite valuable contributions from Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rinku Singh.
