NEW DELHI : Kevin Pietersen did not hold back in his criticism of Cameron Green, who was acquired by Kolkata Knight Riders for a staggering ₹25.2 crore. Pietersen argued that Green has yet to demonstrate the consistency or impact needed to justify occupying the crucial No. 3 spot, widely regarded as one of the most important batting positions in T20 cricket. His remarks come amid the franchise’s lacklustre performances this season, with Green’s outputs falling short of the lofty expectations tied to his hefty price tag.

Pietersen’s comments have intensified scrutiny over the team’s strategy and player roles, especially in the pressure-cooker environment of the Indian Premier League. While some fans sided with Pietersen’s critique, others defended Green, highlighting his all-round capabilities and recent injury setbacks that may have limited his contributions. Experts also pointed out that expensive signings often face immense pressure, and adapting to a new team and role can take time.
