All-rounder Andre Russell was spotted dancing to the upbeat ‘Lutt Putt Gaya’ song with Bollywood actor Ananya Panday as part of Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) celebrations after their 2024 IPL victory. The song, from the movie ‘Dunki’, features Shah Rukh Khan, who is also the co-owner of the Kolkata franchise.
KKR secured a convincing eight-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday, May 26. With this win, Kolkata lifted the IPL trophy for the third time. They had previously clinched the T20 league title in 2012 and 2014, both under the leadership of current mentor Gautam Gambhir.
Following KKR’s triumph in Chennai on Sunday, numerous pictures and videos capturing the players, support staff, and fans celebrating the victory have become viral on social media.
In a particular video, West Indies all-rounder Russell is observed dancing with Ananya to the ‘Lutt Putt Gaya’ track. He is also seen miming along to the song. Additionally, KKR coach Chandrakant Pandit is visible in the footage.
