This comes just weeks ahead of the IPL 2026 Auction, which is scheduled to take place on December 16, 2025. Russell announced this via a post on his official Instagram account.

He also confirmed that he will be continuing with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as a ‘Power Coach’. Here’s what he stated in the post’s caption:

“What a ride it’s been in the IPL — 12 seasons of memories, and a whole lot of love from the KKR family. I’ll still be smashing sixes and taking wickets in every other league around the world. And the best part? I’m not leaving home… you’ll see me in a new role, in KKR’s Support Staff, as the POWER COACH of 2026. New chapter. Same energy. Forever a Knight.”
