Australian all-rounder Cameron Green heaped praise on his former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) teammate Virat Kohli, highlighting Kohli’s unwavering dedication on the field. Green, who impressed in his first season alongside Kohli at RCB, spoke about the Indian star’s all-out effort in every match.
“It’s always pretty special when you look back at these times playing with Virat,” Cameron Green said, according to The Times of India. “He gave 110% every single time he plays, which is the beauty of him. It’s never towards a batter or anything, it’s just pumping himself up, pumping the team up.”
Cameron Green, who previously spent a season with the Mumbai Indians, joined RCB via trade. While at MI, he played 16 matches, scoring a century and two fifties in IPL 2023. In his first season with RCB, Green played 13 games, amassing 255 runs at an average of 31.88 with a strike rate of 143.26.
