Cameron Green’s slow start in the IPL 2026 season with Kolkata Knight Riders has attracted attention. Despite being a high-priced allrounder, Green has not shown consistency in his performance after three matches. Former Australia captain Aaron Finch commented on Green’s form, noting visible concerns in his approach.
Bought for a record Rs. 25.20 crore, Green has failed to meet the high expectations set for him in the tournament. In his initial matches, Green scored a quick 18 off 10 balls against Mumbai Indians but struggled to maintain that momentum. Subsequently, he faced dismissals, including a run-out and being caught behind early in the innings.
Finch expressed his observations on Green’s performance, highlighting a sense of panic in Green’s approach. He suggested potential changes in Green’s batting position or giving him a break to help him regain his form. Additionally, Finch criticized Kolkata Knight Riders’ decision to bat first in a rain-affected match against Punjab Kings, questioning their tactical choices under challenging weather conditions.
As the tournament progresses, the focus will be on Green’s ability to bounce back and prove his worth, especially considering his significant price tag. Kolkata Knight Riders may also need to review their strategies and lineup to enhance their on-field performance.
