Cameron Green literally left his mark on the IPL tonight, smashing a towering six directly into the display car as Kolkata Knight Riders’ record-breaking recruit finally found his feet. The Rs 25.2 crore recruit provided the spark KKR have desperately lacked, leading a fierce counter-attack against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

While the winless Knight Riders have languished at the foot of the table, Green’s aggressive half-century signaled a defiant shift in momentum. Opting to bat first in a bold move by skipper Ajinkya Rahane, KKR faced an early onslaught from Kagiso Rabada, who tore through the order to claim three wickets. However, Green remained immovable, accelerating through the gears to punish the Titans' attack.

Yet, despite disciplined spells from Mohammed Siraj and local hero Ashok Sharma, they struggled to contain Green’s raw power. As the ball thudded into the advertising vehicle, it served as a bruising reminder that KKR—despite their dismal start to the 2026 campaign—refuse to go down without a fight.
