Ahead of the 19th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), a significant debate has emerged regarding Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Cameron Green. Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has made a sharp statement questioning Green's role and fitness, suggesting that if Green does not bowl a full quota of four overs in a match, his salary should be penalized by 2 crores. This remark comes in light of Green being auctioned for a whopping 25.20 crores, making him the most expensive player in the IPL 2026 mini-auction, with high expectations for his performance after returning from a prolonged injury.
