Cameron Green, a key figure in the Kolkata Knight Riders squad, has admitted the team initially struggled with player roles but has found its footing just in time. This strategic clarification has been pivotal in KKR's recent resurgence in the IPL 2026.

The Knight Riders secured a vital win over the second-placed Gujarat Titans, lifting themselves to seventh place and keeping their playoff dreams afloat. This victory marks KKR's fifth in their last six games, highlighting a remarkable turnaround.

Green, whose early season bowling limitations due to injuries posed challenges, now plays a crucial role. He praises teammates Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi for their top-order performances. Despite a formidable matchup against Rashid Khan, Green remains focused on maintaining team momentum. Such adaptability could be key in future crucial matches.
