Cameron Green's IPL Struggles: Finch Calls for Change
8 Apr
Summary
- Cameron Green's IPL 2026 season has seen a slow start for Kolkata Knight Riders.
- Former Australia captain Aaron Finch suggested Green needs a change in role.
- Finch questioned KKR's decision to bat first in a rain-affected match.
Cameron Green has encountered a sluggish beginning to his IPL 2026 campaign for the Kolkata Knight Riders, failing to establish consistency over his initial three appearances. Bought for a substantial Rs. 25.2 crore, the 26-year-old has not yet lived up to his high price tag.
Former Australian captain Aaron Finch commented on Green's form, noting a perceived tentativeness in his approach. Finch suggested that KKR should consider either moving Green higher in the batting order or providing him with a break from the competition. He observed a distinct difference in Green's intent compared to his previous stints at the top of the order.
Finch also raised concerns about KKR's strategic choices during a rain-affected match against Punjab Kings. He found the decision to bat first under challenging, overcast conditions to be questionable, particularly given the potential for rain and the DLS method's advantages for the chasing side. This tactical query highlights potential issues beyond Green's individual performance for the Kolkata franchise.
