Cameron Green’s Bowling Return Stumbles Late as LSG Edge KKR Off Final Ball

The mixed outing sharpened KKR’s choice to lean on his batting under Cricket Australia’s bowling cap.

Overview

  • Lucknow Super Giants beat Kolkata Knight Riders by three wickets in a last-ball chase on Thursday at Eden Gardens.
  • Green, bowling for the first time this IPL season, struck on his second delivery by removing captain Rishabh Pant.
  • Given the penultimate over, he leaked 16 runs to rookie Mukul Choudhary with two sixes and a four, which flipped the chase.
  • With the bat, he finished 32 not out and launched a 19th‑over six off Mohammed Shami as he and Rovman Powell lifted KKR to 181/4.
  • Cricket Australia has limited his bowling because of a managed back injury, and his Rs 25.20 crore price tag has intensified questions about using him mainly as a batter.
