KKR's Crisis: Sehwag Slams INR 25.20 Cr Cameron Green Signing
15 Apr
Summary
- KKR has lost four consecutive matches in the 2026 IPL season.
- Virender Sehwag criticizes the INR 25.20 crore signing of Cameron Green.
- Sehwag suggests benching Green for Tim Seifert to improve KKR's batting.
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are facing a significant slump in the ongoing 2026 Indian Premier League season, having suffered four consecutive losses. Virender Sehwag, a former India batter, has voiced his strong disapproval of the team's strategy, pinpointing their batting unit's failures as the primary cause.
Sehwag specifically highlighted the problematic INR 25.20 crore investment in Australian all-rounder Cameron Green. He argues that Green's poor performance with both bat and ball makes him a liability, and the franchise should acknowledge the mistake and consider dropping him.
To address the team's woes, Sehwag proposed replacing Green with Tim Seifert and suggested restructuring the batting order. He advocates for bringing in two aggressive openers, promoting Ajinkya Rahane to number three, and adjusting the positions of Angkrish Raghavanshi and Rovman Powell.
KKR's next match is scheduled against the Gujarat Titans on April 17 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
