IPL 2026, Cameron Green: Kolkata Knight Riders have not yet tasted victory in IPL 2026. The team has played 2 matches, during which it has faced defeat in 2 matches. At the same time, 1 match has been canceled due to rain. Now before the fourth match, a big good news has come for Kolkata Knight Riders. The most expensive player of the team can be seen bowling in the next match. This match is going to be held against Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens on Thursday.
Big news for KKR
Cameron Green, the most expensive purchase of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2026, is going to return to bowling after a long wait. The Australian all-rounder was bought for Rs 25.20 crore, but in the initial matches of the season he was playing only as a batsman. Now it is expected that he will start bowling also.
Actually, Green was kept away from bowling due to a lower back injury. Cricket Australia had made it clear on March 30, 2026 that they are increasing their bowling load in India and are expected to return in about 10-12 days. Now till 8th April this time has been completed and the team management believes that he is now ready to bowl.
Green’s performance was nothing special
Green’s absence from bowling in the initial matches of KKR was affecting the balance of the team. They lost two matches against Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad, while the match against Punjab Kings was washed out due to rain. Even in batting, Green has not been able to make an impact yet. He scored 18, 2 and 4 runs in three innings. He landed at number 3 twice and once at number 4, but could not convert the start into a big score. He was also run out once.
