As the IPL 2026 match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants gets set for Thursday at Eden Gardens, the biggest talking point in the KKR camp has been Cameron Green\u2019s return to bowling. Ahead of the game in Kolkata, the all-rounder was spotted working with the ball in the nets, a sign that he could be nearing a full role after missing earlier overs.<\/p>\n

KKR\u2019s Green question, Rahane\u2019s team plan<\/h2>\n

KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane underlined that Green\u2019s availability with the ball could shape the XI and improve the team balance.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. At the toss, Rahane said that once Green is permitted to bowl, the side\u2019s combination improves, pointing out that Rovman Powell\u2019s place depends on Green\u2019s bowling workload.<\/li>\n
  2. Rahane added that when Cameron Green bowls, KKR effectively gains an extra bowling option, allowing the batting-bowling mix to be better tailored.<\/li>\n
  3. Rahane also confirmed a single change to the playing group: Sunil Narine is set to come in for Blessing, while Varun remains out as he continues recovering from a hand injury.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Rahane further explained KKR\u2019s batting mindset for the contest. He stressed that the team should stay calm and responsive rather than trying to force outcomes from the start.<\/p>\n

    \u201cAs a batting unit, we just want to watch the ball and react\u2014rather than putting ourselves under pressure by choosing a specific target and chasing it immediately,\u201d Rahane said. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s about being in the moment, reacting to what\u2019s in front of you, and reading the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Why Green\u2019s bowling status became a storyline<\/h2>\n

    The conversation around Green intensified after KKR\u2019s earlier defeat to Mumbai Indians, a match in which he did not bowl and the side struggled to hold a large total. Rahane\u2019s earlier remark\u2014suggesting that the question about Green\u2019s availability needed to be directed toward Cricket Australia\u2014added to the uncertainty and sparked discussion about workload management and external influence.<\/p>\n

    Cricket Australia\u2019s clarification on the issue<\/h3>\n

    Later, Cricket Australia clarified that there was no abrupt restriction. Green has instead been managing a lower-back problem and has been building up gradually toward returning to full bowling duties. His latest net session was viewed as progress, though it remains to be seen whether he will take the field and bowl in the match against Lucknow Super Giants.<\/p>\n
