By India Today Sports Desk: Cameron Green said that he doesn’t have any problem with batting at any position in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). Playing for the Mumbai Indians (MI), Green has batted as an opener, at No.3 and also in the lower middle-order.
In the game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Green opened the batting with Ishan Kishan while Rohit demoted himself to No.3. Green said that he is ready to play the role that skipper Rohit Sharma expects of him.
“Absolutely happy playing the role that the captain thinks is best for the team. I am absolutely loving my time with Mumbai here and I’m happy to bat anywhere,” Green was quoted as saying to the reporters.
MI are currently placed sixth in the table with 10 points and a net run rate of -0.454 thanks to wins in five out of 10 matches. Ahead of their next match against Faf du Plessis’ Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Tuesday, Green sounded confident about his team’s progress in the tournament.
“Everything we learnt in the first ten games is hopefully going to hold in good stead in the remaining games. If you win a game, you can go up to second and if you lose, you could go to second last. We just have to put our best performance. We know we have an incredible team and we are going to just back our strengths,” Green stated.
Green said that life can get tough for bowlers at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. But with some quality bowlers in their ranks, he sounded optimistic about his team’s chances.
“We know how good the Wankhede wicket can get sometimes. It can be ruthless for bowlers sometimes, so it is important to back our strengths. We know we have got some world class bowlers in our team and we are going to back them all the way,” Green added.
