Cameron Green Denies Feeling Pressure as IPL's Costliest Overseas Player

Cameron Green, the Indian Premier League's most expensive overseas player at ₹25.2 crore, said he did not feel extra pressure due to his price tag after helping Kolkata Knight Riders defeat Delhi Capitals by six wickets on May 8, 2026. The Australian all-rounder, who has scored 232 runs and taken four wickets in 10 matches this season, credited the team's support staff for maintaining a level playing environment.

KKR chased down the target with 34 balls to spare, marking their fourth consecutive win after a winless start to the tournament. The victory has revived their playoff hopes following a six-match losing streak at the beginning of IPL 2026. Green, 26, emphasized that team belief never wavered despite the early setbacks.

"The support staff never put any pressure on me. They have been awesome to me since day one," Green said. "There’s always pressure on the international guys, but I’ll probably have the support staff to thank for that." KKR head coach and captain Ajinkya Rahane are expected to assess the team's strategy ahead of their next match, with the playoff race entering a crucial phase.
