Despite a high-scoring thriller against Mumbai Indians that ended in defeat, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) camp remains in high spirits ahead of their clash with Sunrisers Hyderabad. The major talking point from their opening match was the absence of Cameron Green in the bowling attack. Green, who was bought for a record ₹25.20 crore, faced heavy criticism until KKR shared a video on Thursday showing the 26-year-old Australian all-rounder steaming in during the net session at Eden Gardens.

Captain Ajinkya Rahane had earlier hinted that Cricket Australia (CA) had restricted Green from bowling to manage his workload. However, following the bowling unit’s struggle against MI, it seems the Aussie board has given the green light. Meanwhile, KKR’s social media handle shared a light-hearted video featuring Rachin Ravindra with the caption, “Don’t forget us, Rachin,” signaling a relaxed locker room vibe. With Green likely to resume his all-rounder duties, KKR fans are optimistic about a stronger comeback against the Sunrisers. All eyes are now on Rahane’s playing XI and whether the Australian board’s clearance will finally balance the team’s bowling woes.
