In this article, we take a look at 3 teams that can target Cameron Green in IPL 2023 auction:
KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS
One of the teams in the IPL that needs an all-rounder is Kolkata Knight Riders. They have been heavily dependent on Andre Russell for the last few years. Although he has delivered most of the time, the team management will have to find ways to get a backup all-rounder on the side.
Cameron Green will be the best option for this role. He is an explosive batsman who can open the innings and even bat in the middle overs. 4 overs of quality medium-pace bowling can also help the team.
SUNRISERS HYDERABAD
It is no denying that Sunrisers Hyderabad has not made much use of all-rounders. Barring Jason Holder, everyone else has suffered. In such a situation, a utility player like Cameron Green can greatly add to the team. SRH has always lacked firepower in the top order.

With the inclusion of Cameron Green, they will have an explosive batsman who can go after the bowling from the starting itself. Abhishek Sharma is their primary opener at the moment, and the combination of Cameron Green alongside him will surely be helpful for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
RAJASTHAN ROYALS
Although Rajasthan Royals performed well in the IPL 2022, they still have not the best set of all-rounders in the team. They rely heavily on Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson at the top. Devdutt Padikkal did not perform as per the expectation.
Cameron Green can be the player for RR, who can play the role of a finisher. He can accelerate the innings as per the situation. Rajasthan also needs a backup medium-pace bowler. In such a situation, they can bank on Cameron Green to give them added flexibility.
