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.”

Woman poses as man to loot jewellery of Rs 1.5 crore from relative's house; arrested
Palghar (PTI): A 27-year-old woman disguised as a man to gain entry into the residence of her sister's father-in-law and robbed jewellery of more than Rs 1.5 crore from the house in Maharashtra's Palghar district, police said on Wednesday.
The incident took place at Manickpur in Vasai area on Monday afternoon and the woman was apprehended from Navsari in Gujarat the same night, they said.
The accused, dressed up as a man, came to the house of her sister's 66-year-old father-in-law, who lived alone, under the pretext of wanting to see it for some deal.
After entering the house, the accused took the elderly man to the toilet on the pretext of checking it, locked him inside and fled with 1.4 kg of gold ornaments and 2.3 kg of silver items, collectively valued at Rs 1,50,84,050, Assistant Commissioner of Police (Crime) Madan Ballal said.
Based on the victim's complaint, an FIR was registered the same day under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections for theft, robbery and wrongful confinement, and the police examined 75 to 80 CCTV footages, he said.
"We came across a footage showing a man carrying the stolen items and placing them somewhere before disappearing from sight, after which a woman collected them," the official said.
Along with technical surveillance and intelligence inputs, the investigators received a tip that a relative of the victim in Gujarat could be involved in the crime.
Acting swiftly, a crime branch team from here, with the assistance of the Navsari police, apprehended the woman, identified as Jyoti Mohan Bhanushali, from Gujarat late Monday night, Ballal said.
"During interrogation, she confessed to hatching the plan herself. Disguised as a man, she visited the house of her sister's father-in-law, knowing he lived alone, and carried out the robbery," the official said.
The police have recovered all the stolen items, he said, adding further probe was on into the case.
