ALSO READ:
Chris Green, who played just one IPL match for KKR back in 2020, is giving himself a strong chance of earning a bid in the IPL 2026 auction. He has been consistent across different leagues, showing his value as an all-rounder. In the T20 Blast 2025 for Lancashire, he picked up 21 wickets in 14 matches with best figures of 4/34 and kept an economy of 7.37. With the bat, he scored 180 runs at a strike rate of 145.16. Green has also impressed in other leagues. In the BBL 2024/25 for Sydney Thunder, he took 12 wickets in 11 games.
With the kind of form Green is showing, another IPL chance might be on the cards. His all-round ability makes him a valuable option for any team.
