Cameron Green's performance in the IPL 2026 season has raised eyebrows, as the allrounder has struggled to deliver for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) after being bought for a record ₹25.2 crore. In three matches, Green has managed only 20 runs, with a best score of 18 against the Mumbai Indians. Former Australia captain Aaron Finch commented on Green's form, noting that while some dismissals were not entirely his fault, there are visible issues with his approach. Finch suggested that KKR should either push Green up the batting order or give him a rest to help him regain his confidence. Additionally, Finch criticized KKR's decision to bat first in a rain-affected match against the Punjab Kings, calling it a poor tactical choice given the weather conditions. As the tournament progresses, there is pressure on Green to find his rhythm and justify his hefty price tag, while KKR may need to rethink their strategies on the field.
