Cameron Green Faces Criticism After Expensive Spell in KKR vs LSG Clash
IPL 2026 continues to put players under intense scrutiny, and this time, Kolkata Knight Riders' big-money signing Cameron Green has found himself at the center of criticism. The Australian all-rounder faced heavy trolling after an expensive bowling spell against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
Expensive Over Turns Match Around
Cameron Green was brought into the attack during a crucial phase of the match when LSG needed 30 runs from the final two overs. However, things did not go as planned for the KKR all-rounder.
- Conceded 28 runs in just 2 overs
- Second over went for 16 runs
- Mukul Choudhary smashed 2 sixes and a four
This over proved to be a turning point as LSG gained momentum and eventually sealed the match in a last-ball thriller.
Fans React: “Not Worth ₹25.2 Crore”
Green’s performance quickly became a talking point on social media, with fans expressing disappointment over his high price tag and underwhelming performances.
"At this rate, I don't see Cameron Green at KKR for long," wrote one fan.
The trolling intensified as comparisons were made between his cost and contribution so far in IPL 2026.
Poor Form With Bat Adds Pressure
The concerns are not limited to his bowling. Cameron Green has also struggled with the bat this season.
- 56 runs in 4 matches
- Average of just 18.67
- No significant match-winning contribution
This lack of impact in both departments has increased pressure on the all-rounder.
KKR’s Concerns Grow
For Kolkata Knight Riders, the performance of their key players is becoming a major concern. With crucial matches ahead, the team will need Green to step up and justify his massive price tag.
If the struggles continue, questions around team balance and selection could become even louder.
Conclusion
Cameron Green’s expensive spell and poor form have put him under the spotlight in IPL 2026.
With expectations high due to his price tag, the coming matches could be crucial for his future at KKR.
