Cameron Green's difficult start to life as the IPL's most expensive overseas star has taken another downward turn as he got to bowl for the first time this season only to deliver a costly penultimate over in winless Kolkata's latest defeat.
While the Knight Riders' four-million dollar Aussie finally got to play a full allrounder's role, making a valuable if somewhat laboured 32no with the bat, his bowling at the death only facilitated Lucknow Super Giants' most unlikely of three-wicket victories off the final ball at Kolkata's Eden Gardens on Thursday.
Mukul Choudhary proved the hero for the Justin Langer-coached Giants. Needing an unlikely 30 off the final two overs with Lucknow seven wickets down, he first smashed Green for 16 off the 19th over, swatting away the quick's short stuff for two big sixes.
