Cameron Green opens up on his bowling role in KKR
After the match, Green spoke confidently about his bowling fitness and made it clear that he is fully prepared to take on bigger responsibility with the ball whenever required. The Australian all-rounder entered the tournament under a carefully managed workload due to a lower back injury and initially played only as a specialist batsman in KKR’s first two matches.

According to Green, the presence of multiple bowling options allows him to adapt to the match situation, be it bowling in the powerplay, middle overs or the final overs.
“I am 100% ready to bowl four overs. I think our team set-up is such that we have Anukul Roy, who has been exceptional for us, bowling one or two overs. It means I can only bowl two or three overs, which has been a really big help,” Green quoted by ANI.

So, I think our team formation is such that we have six guys we can go at and, obviously, Anukul and I are all-rounders there. So, we just help each other and bowl our four overs,” Green added.
KKR’s playoff hopes back on track
KKR’s dramatic comeback has significantly changed the complexion of the IPL 2026 points table. A few weeks ago, they were near the bottom and appeared to be on their way out. However, four consecutive wins have lifted the defending champions to seventh place and put them firmly back in the race for the playoffs.
