Aaron Finch, the former captain of the Australian cricket team, raised concerns about Cameron Green's performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, particularly regarding his batting position at No. 6 for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Finch stated that team selections should be based on a player's suitability for their role and current form, rather than their auction price. He pointed out that Green, who was bought for ₹25.20 crore (approximately $3 million USD), has primarily batted in the top order throughout his career and has limited experience batting at No. 6, having done so only nine times out of 68 T20 innings. Finch also mentioned Tim Seifert as a viable option for KKR, citing his recent form and ability to play aggressively. Green's performance has been modest, with just 56 runs and one wicket in five matches, contributing to KKR's struggles as they sit at the bottom of the points table without a win. KKR will aim to reverse their fortunes against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on April 17, having experienced an unprecedented start to their campaign with four consecutive defeats.
