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.”
