Australia’s Cameron Green, the most expensive overseas recruit in Indian Premier League history at Rs. 25.2 crore, has been under the spotlight playing for Kolkata Knight Riders this season. Despite a slow start and KKR’s string of losses, the 26-year-old all-rounder from Perth has shown improvement as the tournament has progressed.
In 10 matches, Green has contributed 232 runs and four wickets for the three-time champion team. While he would have liked to have a bigger impact, he hasn’t felt any extra pressure due to his high price tag. Green credits the support staff for not adding any additional burden on him, emphasizing that there is always pressure on international players to perform consistently.
KKR’s playoff hopes seemed bleak after losing their first six matches, but a recent winning streak has revived their chances. Green believes that the team’s belief never wavered, highlighting the strong team culture throughout the tournament.
Green expressed his gratitude towards the support staff after KKR’s victory over Delhi Capitals, stating that they have been supportive and encouraging since day one. He acknowledges the competitive nature of the team, with players on the bench always ready to step in.
The all-rounder’s performance will be crucial for KKR as they aim to secure a spot in the playoffs. Despite the challenges, Green remains focused on contributing to the team’s success and making the most of his opportunity in the IPL.
