Mumbai Indians mentor Sachin Tendulkar had nothing but praise for Cameron Green after the Australian all-rounder smashed an unbeaten 64 off 40 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday. Despite a series of low scores in his first four games of the Indian Premier League 2023 campaign, Green did not let his ego get in the way and played a crucial role in helping MI post a 192-run target.
Teaming up with Tilak Varma, Green stitched a 56-run stand for the fourth wicket when MI were struggling at 95/3 in the 12th over. Tendulkar applauded Green's maturity, saying that he chose the right path and did not play any stupid shots that could have cost the team the game.
Green's contributions were not limited to just the bat, as he also claimed a crucial wicket of Aiden Markram with his bowling. MI's collective bowling effort saw them bowl SRH out for 178 and win the match by 14 runs, claiming their third win on the bounce.
Green's unbeaten knock and all-around performance earned him high praise and demonstrated his ability to make significant contributions to the team even after a tough start.
