Cameron Green: The Rise of a Global All-Rounder

Early Breakthroughs & Domestic Dominance

Cameron Green’s journey began in the Western Australia system, where he debuted in the Sheffield Shield at just 17. He announced himself with a sensational five-wicket haul on debut against Tasmania. His defining domestic moment came during the 2019-20 season, where he amassed 699 runs—including two unbeaten centuries against Queensland—to win the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year award.

International Stardom & The Baggy Green

Green’s transition to international cricket was seamless. Since his debut against India in 2020, he has become a fixture in Australia’s Test and ODI squads.

  • Test Cricket: Known for his elegant technique at No. 4, he famously scored a maiden Test ton against India in Ahmedabad (2023) and a masterful 174 against New Zealand* in Wellington (2024).

  • White-Ball Impact: A key member of Australia’s 2023 ODI World Cup-winning squad, Green also showcased his destructive potential with a 55-ball century (118) against South Africa in August 2025.

IPL Evolution: From Mumbai to the Record-Breaking KKR Deal

Green’s IPL journey has been a meteoric ascent:

  1. Mumbai Indians (2023): Debuted for ₹17.5 Crore, scoring 452 runs, including a 47-ball century that catapulted MI into the playoffs.

  2. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (2024): Moved to RCB in a high-profile all-cash trade, contributing 255 runs and 10 wickets.

  3. Kolkata Knight Riders (2026): After missing the 2025 season to undergo spinal fusion surgery, Green returned to the auction in late 2025. In a fierce bidding war, KKR broke the bank to sign him as their marquee all-rounder for the 2026 title defense.
