The Cameron Green saga continues as Kolkata Knight Riders gear up to face Lucknow Super Giants in the upcoming IPL 2026 match at Eden Gardens. Despite being bought for ₹25.20 crore, Green has yet to bowl a single delivery due to a lower-back injury as per Cricket Australia’s instructions. While he is expected to return to bowling soon, Green has struggled to justify his hefty price tag with poor performances at the top order. Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen criticized KKR’s decision to use Green at No. 3, citing his lack of experience in world cricket. With key bowlers sidelined and Green’s absence from bowling affecting the team’s tactics, KKR faces challenges in the ongoing season. Despite receiving support from Aaron Finch, Green’s performance has raised concerns, with suggestions to either move him up the order or provide him with a break. Overall, Green’s role and impact on KKR’s performance remain a topic of discussion as the season progresses.
