Malinga ran out without using his hand… Cameron Green kept watching, Raghuvanshi's mistake sacrificed the wicket.

New Delhi. Cameron Green was unlucky. He was run out by Ehsaan Malinga without touching the ball. Green's dismissal was a big blow for KKR. Green himself did not believe that he was out. Because when the bowler appealed for out, Angkrish Raghuvanshi from the other end started returning to the pavilion, then the team management advised him to stay on the ground. Because then the umpire was checking in the replays. Replays made it clear that it was not Raghuvanshi who was green out. After this Raghuvanshi returned to the crease and returned to the green pavilion.

A strange run out was seen in the sixth over of KKR's innings on the Eden Gardens ground. Which surprised the fans. Raghuvanshi played a straight shot on Ehsaan Malinga's full length ball, which hit Malinga's shoes and rolled back towards the wickets. Malinga showed agility and scattered the balls. Initially Raghuvanshi felt that he was out and started moving towards the pavilion, but after the umpires' confirmation, there was a twist in the story. Replays revealed that both the batsmen had crossed each other before the balls were scattered, due to which Cameron Green (2 runs) was declared run out. It was no less than bad luck for KKR, where a small mistake led to the loss of a big wicket.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, after being invited to bat first, scored 226 runs for 8 wickets against Kolkata Knight Riders. Heinrich Klaasen played the highest innings of 52 runs for Sunrisers. Abhishek Sharma contributed 48 runs, Travis Head contributed 46 runs and Nitish Kumar Reddy contributed 39 runs. Blessing Muzarabani was the most successful bowler for KKR with four wickets. Vaibhav Arora got two successes.

Green was out after scoring 18 runs in the first match, KKR bought him for Rs 25.20 crore.
Kolkata Knight Riders had included Cameron Green in the team in the auction held for IPL 2026 by spending like water on him. But this Australian all-rounder disappointed in the very first match of the season. In the team's opening match against Mumbai Indians, this Australian all-rounder managed to score only 18 runs. Green, who came at number three after Finn Allen's dismissal, was expected to bat stormily, but Shardul Thakur trapped him by bowling a short ball. KKR bought Green for Rs 25.20 crore, making him the most expensive player of the IPL 2026 auction.
