In the recently concluded Indian Premier League auction held in Kochi, Cameron Green bagged one of the highest bids in the history of the auction. The all-rounder was sold to the Mumbai Indians for a whopping INR 17.5 cr, making him the second-most expensive player in the history of the tournament.
Green's bidding contest was bouncing between franchises Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. The all-rounder had just made his debut in April this year but became one of the most talked about player in the international circuit.
Cameron Green absolutely elated
“Obviously, I’m pinching myself. I think joining such a great team in Mumbai, we obviously got such a history, all the past players that have played for them, and how great they are and how good the team is at the moment,"
“We’ve got so much talent that you can learn from them and improve your own game. I loved my time in India for the two weeks then, so I’m happy I’m going to come back and be playing with the Mumbai Indians,"
Akash Ambani reveals why MI aimed at Green
“We have been following and tracking Cameron Green for the last two-three years and with his recent performances, we thought that he is exactly what we needed. We were looking for a younger player and he fits the right age profile for us."
“If you have noticed, over the last two auctions, we have deliberately picked players that are on the younger side and give us more lifetime value and that’s why we thought that Cameron is the perfect guy for us to come in. We are very happy to get Cameron Green."
