Cameron Green’s Classy Fifty Leads KKR Revival vs Gujarat Titans

Cameron Green’s Classy Fifty Leads KKR Revival vs Gujarat Titans

Published by Webster

A solid knock from Cameron Green has revived KKR’s revival during the IPL 2026 game against the Gujarat Titans, played on April 17 at Ahmedabad. He went on to slam his first fifty in the ongoing season, after some underpar performance in the first five games. After being invited to bat first, Ajinkya Rahane and Tim Seifert opened the innings while Mohammed Siraj opened the bowling attack. Siraj bagged the wicket of KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane for a golden duck. The batter completely misses out with the timing, and the ball was up in the long-on, where Kagiso Rabada makes a safe catch. Kagiso Rabada bagged his first wicket dismissing Angkrish Raghuvanshi for 8 runs. Raghuvanshi poked the ball and the outside edge has been taken by Jos Buttler behind the wickets. He bagged his second wicket dismissing Tim Seifert for 19 runs. The wk-batter punched the ball towards point and Glenn Phillips took a catch inside the circle. With losing three wickets Kolkata Knight Riders scored only 37 runs in the powerplay. Making a …

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 …

‘I don’t think Cam Green’s good enough to bat at number 3’: Kevin Pietersen’s blunt take on KKR all-rounder | Ipl News

4 min readApr 7, 2026 12:55 PM IST After another under-par performance with the bat for Kolkata Knight Riders from Cameron Green, former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has said that the Australian all-rounder is ‘not good enough’ to bat at number three. So far after three games in IPL 2026, Green has scored 18 and two runs in Knight Riders’ opening two matches while being unavailable to bowl. On Monday evening, at a rain-affected IPL game at the Eden Gardens the Australian all-rounder could only score four runs against the Punjab Kings. “I’m against talking about money because money is something that just happens. These guys don’t earn as much money as some of the other sportsmen around the world. But obviously, a lot of people like to talk about what I like to talk about, which is cricketing ability. And whether or not you’re good enough to be in a position of power and batting a 3 in an IPL team, you have to be good enough to be able to perform at that …

Cameron Green’s latest move changes the mood at KKR after Ajinkya Rahane’s comment triggered debate

Published by Parlour News

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. Cameron Green bowling in the nets for KKR. (KKR X) The issue flared when KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane, asked after the match why Green had not bowled, replied: “That question you need to ask Cricket Australia.” Rahane also made it clear that Green’s overs would improve KKR’s balance, which turned a selection and workload call into a wider talking point about franchise planning, player availability, and how much control national boards continue to exercise during the IPL.

3 min readMar 30, 2026 05:50 PM IST Cricket Australia has claimed that Kolkata Knight Riders management was completely aware about the bowling unavailability of Cameron Green after KKR’s captain Ajinkya Rahane took a cheeky dig on the board last night. After the loss against Mumbai Indians, when Rahane was asked why Green didn’t bowl, he said, “Ask Cricket Australia”, triggering a mild controversy. “Cameron has a lower back injury which is being managed but requires him to abstain from bowling for a short period,” a CA spokesperson told PTI. “Cameron is currently rebuilding his bowling loads in India with a view to return in around 10-12 days’ time. 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. Green’s last competitive outing with the ball came in the T20 World Cup against Oman on February 20 earlier this year at Pallekele, where he bowled just two overs. Widening bowling crisis KKR …

Ambati Rayudu slams Cricket Australia over Cam Green’s bowling restriction for KKR in IPL 2026

Ambati Rayudu slams Cricket Australia over Cam Green’s bowling restriction for KKR in IPL 2026

3 min readMar 30, 2026 09:30 AM IST Kolkata Knight Riders’ inexperienced bowling attack came under the scanner at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday night after they failed to defend a 220-run total against the Mumbai Indians. While the stacked MI batting group put on their highest-ever IPL chase, Ajinkya Rahane’s men were rendered a bowler short after their record Rs 25.20 crore signing, Cameron Green, was barred from bowling for a certain number of games by his home board, Cricket Australia (CA). Former India batter Ambati Rayudu slammed CA over the restrictions, questioning the logic behind the decision. Green, who became the most expensive overseas player to be signed at any IPL auction, batted at No 3 against MI, scoring 18 off 10 balls. He was an active presence on the field during the chase, but wasn’t brought on to bowl his medium pacers on a pitch where MI’s seamers were able to pull things back in the first half.

Pathirana’s INR 18 cr can beat Green’s INR 25.20 cr: How IPL 2026’s costliest player might earn less

Published by Parlour News

Cameron Green’s INR25.20-crore IPL 2026 auction headline looks like a financial knockout. Comparatively, Matheesha Pathirana’s INR18-crore buy looks smaller. Matheesha Pathirana and Cameron Green in IPL.(PTI) But once you follow the money through IPL rules, India’s withholding tax, and then the player’s home-country tax, there’s a very real scenario where Pathirana ends up taking home more than Green, despite both effectively being on the same IPL salary. Why Pathirana could net more than Green: the conditions and the maths Step 1: What the player is actually paid (not what the franchise bids). IPL’s 2026 mini-auction introduced a “maximum fee” rule for overseas players: bidding can go above ₹18 crore, but an overseas player’s pay cheque is capped at INR18 crore, with any “over-cap” portion routed to a BCCI player-welfare mechanism (as reported). That’s why Green’s record bid for KKR (INR25.20 crore) does not mean ₹25.20 crore in his pocket. Pathirana was bought for INR18 crore, so the cap doesn’t reduce his fee. Practical implication: Green and Pathirana can both be on the same gross payable …

‘It’s baffling, you’re six-and-a-half foot tall, it’s ridiculous to…’: David Warner on Cameron Green’s tactics on Day 2 in Brisbane | Cricket News

With Australia ending the second day of the second Ashes Test at Brisbane on 378 for 6, the Steve Smith led Australian team were ahead by England by 44 runs in the first innings with four wickets in hand. Earlier in the day, Australia were once placed 291 for 3 before they lost wickets of Cameron Green and Steve Smith in one over with Green getting clean bowled to a Brydon Carse yorker followed by Smith being caught by Will Jacks near the boundary. Former Australian opener David Warner has called Green’s tactics as ‘baffling’ apart from his style of keep moving around as ‘ridiculous’. “It’s baffling, you’re six-and-a-half foot tall, it’s ridiculous to keep moving around like that and playing white-ball style cricket. But when you’re so far away from your stumps, if he does (bowl) at the stumps you’re not going to be able to reach it, which was his downfall. Every single ball, if you showed the bowler back, anyone with half a brain would go at the stumps,” Warner said on …
