2 min readApr 15, 2026 09:00 PM IST Australia all-rounder Cameron Green is having a first-hand experience of the undesirable part of being a headline buy in an Indian Premier League (IPL) auction. Green simply hasn’t been able to get going this season and the record Rs 25.20 crore price tag for which he was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has been mentioned almost every time he has fallen short thus far this season. The fact that Green was still recovering from an injury at the start of the season hasn’t helped him, neither the way in which that was revealed. Green hadn’t bowled for KKR in their opener against MI and when asked the reason for that, captain Ajinkya Rahane simply said: “Ask Cricket Australia”. What has also not helped his cause is that KKR have simply tanked in the early part of the season, remaining winless after five matches. “He has not had the start he would’ve liked but he’s obviously a quality player,” bowling coach Tim Southee said after their latest …

3 min readApr 9, 2026 10:56 PM IST It’s difficult to win a game of cricket with 10 players. It’s even tougher to do so when two, who are also experienced internationals, don’t pull their weight. But that’s exactly what Kolkata Knight Riders are having to contend with. Ajinkya Rahane was peeved when his strike rate after the Powerplay was brought up during a recent press conference. A score of 41 in 24 balls – a strike rate of just over 170 – against Lucknow Super Giants may look alright, but isn’t quite so given the benchmark set by openers for other teams. Once his opening partner Finn Allen departed, the scoring settled into a pattern of rotation of strike punctuated with boundaries now and then, even in the Powerplay, as Angkrish Raghuvanshi too played similarly. In the current IPL, a score of anything less than 60 in the first six overs is unsatisfactory and KKR got 56 only after a 16-run over provided by Avesh Khan to round off the field-restriction period. After the …

4 min readApr 5, 2026 11:33 PM IST Kolkata Knight Riders’ high-profile acquisition Cameron Green has resumed bowling in the nets and is “not far away” from doing so in an IPL match, bowling coach Tim Southee said on Sunday. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO The Australian all-format all-rounder, IPL’s costliest overseas buy at Rs 25.20-crore, has not bowled so far in the season as Cricket Australia monitors his workload post his back surgery. “Yeah, Green’s been bowling well, tracking his rehab and getting himself back to being able to bowl in games. He’ll continue to do that,” Southee said ahead of KKR’s clash against Punjab Kings. However, it is unlikely that Green will bowl against PBKS on Monday, even though he was seen going full throttle at a practice session on Saturday.

Cameron Green, bowling in Kolkata Knight Riders’ nets on the eve of their IPL 2026 game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, has become a story far bigger than a routine training clip. It comes just days after Green did not bowl at all in KKR’s opening defeat to the Mumbai Indians at Wankhede, a match in which the team failed to defend 224, and their balance with the ball came under immediate scrutiny.

KKR has been communicated with and is fully aware of this information.” Green has been off the bowling duties for nearly an year after undergoing surgery for a stress fracture in his back.

After Kolkata’s inexperienced bowling unit was put to the sword, Rahane was asked why the Rs 25.20 crore recruit Cameron Green did not bowl a single over. “That question you need to ask Cricket Australia,” was the captain’s response. “Hopefully Green starts to bowl soon, and the combination will be slightly different,” he had said a few moments earlier. Green, who became the most expensive overseas player to be signed at any IPL auction, batted at No 3 in the team’s opening match, scoring 18 off 10 balls. He then threw himself around the field during the second half, but wasn’t brought on to bowl his medium pacers on a pitch where MI’s seamers were able to pull things back in …
