Indian Premier League
Mumbai, March 28: Cameron Green won’t be weighed down by his high price tag, says Kolkata Knight Riders coach Shane Watson, noting that the Australian all-rounder prefers to play with absolute freedom.
Green, who has played for Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the past, was picked up by KKR for a whopping Rs 25.20 crore in the mini auction.“I’ve seen players in the past who’ve had a high price tag on them. I’ve seen them crumble in the past, that wave of expectations really suffocated their ability to perform at their best,” Watson told reporters ahead of KKR’s training here at the Wankhede Stadium.“Cameron certainly doesn’t see it that way. We’ve seen with him when he got picked up to play here at MI a couple of years ago for a pretty decent amount of money, he had a very good season.” Watson credited Green for having a strong mindset.“That is his mindset when it comes to the IPL, that he’s got nothing to lose,” he said.
