After becoming the most expensive player of IPL, Cameron Green’s account is not opened, will KKR lose money?

The last 24 hours were full of ups and downs for Australian all-rounder Cameron Green. In the mini auction of IPL 2026, Kolkata Knight Riders bought him for Rs 25.20 crore, which is a record for a foreign player. But the very next day, he was out for zero in the third Test of the Ashes. This contradiction shows the uncertainty of cricket.

record breaking auction

Many teams bid on Green in the auction held in Abu Dhabi on 16 December. There was a tough competition between KKR and other franchises. Finally, KKR included Green in their team by paying Rs 25.20 crores.

This amount breaks his previous records. Green has now become the most expensive foreign player in IPL history. 26 year old Green has returned from back surgery and will give strength to KKR.

Silver Duck in the Ashes

The first day’s play of the third Test of the Ashes was going on at the Adelaide Oval. Australia won the toss and batted first. After lunch, England’s fast bowler Joffra Archer showed amazing performance. He dismissed Marnus Labuschagne and then Green’s turn came. Green played only two balls.

Green tried to flick Archer’s short and then full length ball, but the ball bounced and went into the air. Brayden Carse took a brilliant catch by diving at midwicket, due to which Green returned to the pavilion at zero. Archer was on fire that day.

Match status and future expectations

After this out, Australia’s innings faltered, but Usman Khawaja managed it by playing an inning of 82 runs and Alex Carey also made a good contribution. Cameron Green has returned from injury and wants to perform well in the Ashes. This investment is long term for KKR.

Such ups and downs are common in cricket. Green has a chance to make a comeback in the second innings and can soon return to form by scoring big. Fans hope that he will shine for KKR in IPL.
