During the IPL 2024 match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) on May 3, Venkatesh Iyer and Andre Russell shared a light moment after Russell's run-out. Venkatesh's precise throw led to Russell's dismissal. In a post-match video, Venkatesh humorously remarked about Russell's sprinting. MI's Suryakumar Yadav playfully teased Russell's speed. KKR won by 24 runs.
