Cameron Green, who was acquired by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for INR 25.20 crore in the IPL 2026 auction, has yet to impress in his first three innings, scoring just 18, 2, and 0 runs. Former Australia captain Aaron Finch expressed concern over Green's tentative approach, suggesting that KKR should either move him up the batting order or consider giving him a break to regain his confidence. Finch noted that Green's past performance with the Mumbai Indians in 2023, where he scored 452 runs at a strike rate of 160.28, showcased his potential, contrasting sharply with his current struggles. Finch also criticized KKR's decision to bat first in their washed-out match against Punjab Kings, which exposed their batters to challenging conditions after rain. He emphasized that the decision to bat first was illogical given the weather forecasts and the pitch conditions, indicating a need for better decision-making within the team. KKR will next face Lucknow Super Giants on April 9.
