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.
