Cameron Green has declared himself 100% fit to bowl his full quota of overs for Kolkata Knight Riders, signaling his full return from a lower-back injury that had previously restricted his workload. The Australian all-rounder also stated he is prepared to bat in any position as KKR continue their surge up the IPL 2026 standings.
KKR strengthened their playoff hopes with an eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, their fourth straight victory after a winless start to the season. Finn Allen led the charge with an unbeaten century, while Green contributed 33 runs and took the wicket of Nitish Rana in his only over.
Green, signed for ₹25.20 crore at the IPL 2026 auction, said the team's balanced attack allows for flexible bowling options, citing Anukul Roy's form as key to managing his own workload. He added that he feels no added pressure from his price tag, crediting the support of teammates and staff.
KKR, now seventh in the points table, will look to maintain momentum in their upcoming matches as the playoff race intensifies. The team is scheduled to play its next fixture against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Eden Gardens on Tuesday.
