Green, who arrived at KKR with high expectations following a Rs 25.20 crore deal, has endured a modest start with the bat, managing scores of 18, 2, 4 and an unbeaten 32 in four outings. With Cricket Australia advising caution due to his recent recovery, his bowling has also been gradually reintroduced, with the all-rounder sending down two overs in the previous game against Lucknow Super Giants.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on his experience with a new franchise after stints with Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Green highlighted the positive environment within the KKR camp despite results not going their way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt's awesome. Obviously, on field it's not been our year so far. We know it's a long tournament, so probably need to win some games pretty desperately. But no, off field it's been awesome. I think all the support staff, the players have been great and up and about. So hopefully that holds us in good stead,\u201d the all-rounder told the broadcasters ahead of the CSK vs KKR clash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
KKR are coming off a narrow defeat in their previous outing, and Green pointed out that the team has focused on staying positive and backing the processes that are working.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe kind of spoke with the whole team and said we're doing a lot of things right. And obviously, IPL summer can have a really good day and win the game for anyone. So hopefully we're just on the better side of it next time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On his own progress with the ball, Green expressed confidence in his physical condition and hinted at a bigger role in the upcoming game, saying, \u201cBody's really good. I think obviously with bowling, there's nothing like match practice. So hopefully I'm better for it, and I'll be able to bowl four overs this game, which is good.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cI wasn't part of it last year. But yeah, thinking back to two years ago, I think teams were getting 270 really consistently. So yeah, I don't know if it's just because a bit of nerves early start of the competition. The scores seem a little bit lower, but we'll wait and see how it goes,\u201d he mentioned.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
