Mohammad Kaif stated that Andre Russell, the dynamic batter of Kolkata Knight Riders, would be a nightmare for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowlers at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Russell scored an unbeaten 64 off just 25 deliveries against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Eden Gardens, helping KKR post a total of 208 for 7 in the first innings.

During an interview with Star Sports, Kaif expressed his belief that Russell will be a standout player in IPL 2024. Russell's impressive performance, hitting seven sixes, allowed him to become the fastest player to reach 200 sixes in the cash-rich league.
“It is a fantastic place to hit shots and go after the bowlers. The boundaries are short and the pitch is good for batting. It will be exciting to see Russell bat against RCB. I am sure he is going to set the 17th season of the tournament on fire. He is going to be a nightmare for the rival bowlers.”
