No permission to take decision on the person to whom KKR gave Rs 25 crore, Rahane's statement created a stir

MI vs KKR: For Kolkata Knight Riders, what is the use of selecting a player on whom decisions are not allowed. That too when it has been bought for a huge amount of more than Rs 25 crore. We are talking about Cameron Green. KKR bought this Australian all-rounder for IPL 2026 for Rs 25.20 crore.

With this amount, he became the most expensive foreign player of IPL 2026. But when it came to taking a decision regarding him on the field, team captain Ajinkya Rahane became helpless.

No decision allowed on Green!

On March 29, when Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders competed in IPL 2026, Cameron Green also participated in it. Now, Green, worth Rs 25.20 crore, batted but the KKR captain seemed hesitant in handing him the ball for bowling. Not because Green was not effective with the ball but because the management did not allow him to bowl.

What did KKR captain Rahane say?

Ajinkya Rahane revealed this after the match.

Rahane was asked why he did not make Green bowl? On this Rahane said that the answer should not be given to me but should be asked by Cricket Australia. Now the question is that when the T20 league belongs to BCCI then why is there such a thing as asking Cricket Australia?

Cricket Australia's statement on Cameron Green

Cricket Australia has talked to KKR management about not allowing Cameron Green to bowl due to his lower back injury. Cricket Australia said in its statement that it has informed Kolkata Knight Riders about Green's injury.

Green's injury still needs to be managed. He cannot bowl for at least 10-12 days.
