Cameron Green has declared himself fully fit to bowl his complete quota of overs and ready to bat in any position for Kolkata Knight Riders as the defending champions continue their remarkable comeback in IPL 2026.KKR registered their fourth consecutive win after defeating Delhi Capitals by eight wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Friday. The victory came on the back of a sensational unbeaten century from Finn Allen, while Green also chipped in with a useful 33 runs and picked up the wicket of Nitish Rana in his lone over.The win marked another step in KKR’s turnaround after they began the season without a single victory in their first six matches. Despite the poor start, the Kolkata-based franchise has now climbed to seventh place in the points table and revived their playoff hopes.Speaking at the post-match press conference, Green opened up about his bowling workload after initially being managed carefully due to a lower-back injury. The Australian all-rounder revealed that he is now completely ready to bowl four overs whenever required.“I’m 100% ready to bowl four overs. I think just the makeup of our team helps. We have Anukul Roy, who has been exceptional for us, bowling one or two overs. That means I can bowl two or three overs, which has been a really big help,” Green said.He also highlighted how KKR’s balanced bowling attack gives the side flexibility with multiple options throughout the innings.“Having a left-arm all-rounder to potentially bowl through the middle means I can bowl in the powerplay, at the death, or through the middle as well. We’ve got six guys we can go to, and Anukul and I help each other out with our overs,” he added.Green was one of the most expensive players in the IPL 2026 auction, with KKR signing him for ₹25.20 crore. However, the Australian insisted that the hefty price tag has not created any additional pressure on him.“I’ve never felt any pressure from the guys in the team or the coaching staff. They’ve been excellent about it. Also, I’ve been through this three times now, so I’m pretty used to it,” Green explained.
