Australia all-rounder Cameron Green had a stellar outing with the bat in the recently concluded three-match T20I series against India. Opening in International cricket for the first time, Green ran riot with the bat, taking on the Indian bowlers in the powerplay overs.
He ended the T20I with a stellar knock, slamming a 19-ball half-century in the third and final game on Sunday, September 25, in Hyderabad. The youngster slammed three sixes and seven fours during his stay at the crease. He was dismissed by Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the fifth over for 52 (22 balls).
Reacting to Cameron Green’s devastating knock, former India opener Wasim Jaffer predicted that the Aussie all-rounder could be in high demand at the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) auction.
Taking to the microblogging site Twitter, Wasim Jaffer shared a popular meme and wrote, “IPL teams to Cameron Green in December #IPLAuction#INDvAUS.”
