“Perfect replacement for Kieron Pollard” – Twitter reacts after Cameron Green becomes the highest-paid player in Mumbai Indians’ history

There was so much hype surrounding the young Australian all-rounder Cameron Green ahead of the IPL 2023 mini-auction and many predicted that Green would get sold for a record price at the auction in Kochi.

Green, who is considered the next big thing in Australian cricket registered himself at the auction for his base price of Rs 2 crore. There was an intense bidding war amongst the franchises to sign the Australian international.

However, in the end, Mumbai Indians had the last laugh in the battle by recruiting the services of Cameron Green for a record fee of INR 17.5 crore. He matured into an all-rounder after hogging the limelight as a Western Australia pacer.

The 23-year-old all-rounder etched his name into the record books after he became the highest-paid player ever in the history of Mumbai Indians, surpassing Ishan Kishan. For the record, Mumbai Indians retained Ishan Kishan for INR 15.25 crore at the IPL 2022 mega auction in Bengaluru, making him the most expensive player in the last year’s auction.

However, in this auction, Cameron Green went on to become the highest-paid cricketer in Mumbai Indians’ history. MI team management were mighty pleased after they roped in the Australian at the auction.

Cameron Green has played 8 T20Is, 17 Tests and 13 One Day Internationals for the national cricket team. He scored 139 runs in the truncated version of the game at a staggering strike rate of 173.8 including two fifties.

On the other side of the coin, he has bagged as many as five wickets, registering his personal best bowling figures of 2/16, at an economy of 8.60. He would be looking forward to giving it all for the most successful franchise in the IPL next season.

Mumbai Indians hit the rock bottom of the last season’s points table, winning only four games out of the 14 games.
