Not Virat Kohli, Australian all-rounder Cameron Green is excited to join this player in RCB
Green shares video message for RCB fans
Australian all-rounder Cameron Green expressed his delight at joining the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) after moving from the Mumbai Indians (MI) in a significant INR 17.5 crore all-cash deal.
In a video posted by RCB on its social media handles, the 24-year-old shared his excitement about working with Bangalore's head coach, Andy Flower. Notably, Flower also serves as the coach for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Multan Sultans and the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) franchise St Lucia Kings.
"Hey RCB fans, Cameron Green here. I just want to say how excited I am to be joining Andy Flower in the team. I can’t wait to see you guys soon at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Cheers!" Green conveyed in the video.
During his stint with MI, Green showcased impressive performances, amassing 452 runs in 16 matches at an average of 50.22, which included one century and two fifties in the IPL 2023. He also contributed with the ball, taking six wickets. Green was released from the MI squad to accommodate the return of Hardik Pandya, who rejoined Mumbai in a trade deal worth INR 15 crore from the Gujarat Titans.
In a statement, MI bid farewell to Green, stating:
“Goodbyes are never easy. But with a heavy heart, we, the MI Paltan, thank Cameron Green for all the wonderful memories he gave us in the Blue and Gold through the 2023 IPL. He has been traded from Mumbai Indians to Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of the 2024 Auction.”
Ahead of the IPL 2024 auction, RCB retained 20 players, including two transfer deals – Cameron Green and Mayank Dagar. The franchise released 11 players and traded out Shahbaz Ahmed. With an INR 23.25 crore purse, RCB is set to fill their remaining slots during the auction.

Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent gets threat
Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Nov 28: Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent R Anitha on Thursday said that an unknown person sent an audio message via a police inspector claiming that they will blow up her car.
However, police said they have not received any complaints in this regard.
Speaking to reporters here, Anitha said, "Somebody has sent an audio message to the police inspector saying that they will blow up my car. I personally did not receive any such message so far, so I would not be lodging any police complaint."
Following the alleged threat, Anitha said she would be more cautious now.
Last month, after Anitha took charge as the Chief Superintendent of Jail, raids were conducted and searches were intensified after photographs and video clips purportedly showing three inmates getting special treatment in the Kalaburagi Central prison went viral on social media.
Following the raids, cell phones, gutka and cigarette packets and beedis were seized from the inmates.
