During his stint with the Mumbai Indians in the IPL, Green showcased composure despite the pressure, contributing 452 runs and taking six wickets under Rohit’s captaincy. In their final IPL group match, Green’s quickfire century off 47 balls, which included a blazing 128-run partnership with Rohit, played a pivotal role in Mumbai’s last-gasp surge to the playoffs.

Although their paths diverge as opponents in the WTC Final, Green can draw upon the lessons he learned from Rohit during the IPL, particularly during their crucial century partnership, as they prepare for the red-ball showdown.

Reflecting on his experience playing under Rohit’s guidance, Green praised the calmness the Indian skipper exudes on the field. Green acknowledged Rohit’s wealth of experience and appreciated the opportunity to discuss various situations with him.

Green has been in a stellar form lately, highlighted by a five-wicket haul in the Boxing Day Test and a maiden Test century with the bat. Despite Australia falling short in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India, Green made a significant impact in the final Test on a flat track in Ahmedabad.

Having observed India closely during the series, Green recognizes the main threats posed by the Indian team as they prepare to face them once again in the WTC Final.

Green’s determination to replicate Rohit’s calmness and apply the lessons learned from playing alongside him adds an intriguing dynamic to the upcoming World Test Championship Final between Australia and India.

Cameron Green’s Record-breaking Century Leads Mumbai Indians to Crucial Victory in IPL Play-offs Race.

In a remarkable display of power hitting, Australia’s Cameron Green smashed his maiden T20 century to guide the Mumbai Indians to a resounding eight-wicket triumph over the Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. Green’s unbeaten knock of 100 runs off just 47 deliveries, accompanied by a crucial partnership of 128 runs with captain Rohit Sharma (56), propelled Mumbai to chase down a challenging target of 201 at their home ground, the Wankhede Stadium.

With this victory, the Mumbai Indians, who have clinched the IPL title a remarkable five times, have kept their hopes alive for a playoff spot. Their fate now hinges on the outcome of the second match of the day between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and defending champions Gujarat Titans. Should Bangalore secure a victory, Mumbai’s chances will be extinguished, but a defeat for Bangalore would grant Mumbai the coveted spot in the playoffs.

The result of this match also eliminated the Rajasthan Royals from contention, leaving Bangalore, captained by Faf du Plessis, in the race for the final playoff spot. Bangalore must secure a win in their next match to advance, while a loss would open the door for Mumbai to progress.

Top-ranked Gujarat Titans and second-placed Chennai Super Kings are set to clash in the upcoming first qualifier, while Lucknow, securing their playoff berth, await their opponent in the eliminator round. The victor of the first qualifier will secure a direct spot in the final, scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad on May 28th. The losing team will face the winner of the eliminator match.

Cameron Green, Mumbai’s significant acquisition for $2.11 million in the auction, delivered a standout performance on Sunday, smashing eight fours and eight sixes.

Following the departure of captain Rohit Sharma, Green continued the onslaught and formed an unbeaten partnership with Suryakumar Yadav, who contributed 25 runs, leading Mumbai to their eighth victory in 14 group matches. Medium-pace bowler Akash Madhwal played a crucial role, claiming figures of 4-37 to limit Hyderabad to a total of 200-5. The total could have been larger, but disciplined bowling prevented Hyderabad from posting a more formidable score.

Opener Mayank Agarwal (83) and Vivrant Sharma (69) laid a solid foundation with a 140-run partnership. However, the departures of Sharma and Agarwal triggered a collapse in Hyderabad’s batting lineup.

Hyderabad finished at the bottom of the 10-team table, ending their campaign with the wooden spoon.

The last two teams in the points table of the current IPL are coming down to the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the capital today, Tuesday. Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians are desperate for their first win. Sourav Gangopadhyay and Sachin Tendulkar, the one-time partners of Indian cricket, will also witness a battle of wits today. Australian all-rounder Cameron Green, who came in the auction for Tk 17.5 crore, has failed to live up to expectations so far. But before the Delhi-Duirath, he got the advice of legend Sachin Tendulkar. Green said, “Sachin told me, if you play with the bat mouth closed in red-ball cricket, you should keep the bat mouth open in white-ball cricket. Then I can play comfortably on the off side.”Not taking extra pressure right now,” Green said of not being in his rhythm. Playing in IPL for the first time. It will take some time to adapt to the environment. I want to enjoy the game.” He added, “Before the IPL, I played in the T20 series in India.

The situation is pretty much the same. But red ball and white ball cricket are different. Will get back to form soon.”Along with Green, five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians are also finding good times. They lost both matches. The two openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan have forgotten the last time they played an explosive inning in the IPL. Suryakumar Yadav’s return to form is essential not only for Mumbai but also for the Indian team. Rohit’s only hope is Tilak Verma. He is playing well in every match. Jofra Archer’s absence in the last match made the appearance of Rohit’s bowling skeletal. The team will be looking at him in this match. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have been the most consistent team in the IPL in the last three to four years. But David Warner is at the bottom of the points table with a hat-trick of defeats this season. As weighty as the Sourav-Ponting duo is off the field, Delhi is as pale without Rishabh Pant.

Rishabh was present to support the team at home against Gujarat Titans. But not only Rishabh has been knocked out, but it looks like Delhi’s fighting spirit has also gone with him. Delhi opener Prithvi Shaw is getting helpless against the pace, swing, and bounce of the opposition’s strong bowlers. Captain David Warner has left his golden days behind. Even though he is in the running for the orange cap with 158 runs in three matches, his strike rate is not at all pleasing. In the pace department, Anrikh Nakhia, Mukesh Kumar, and Khalil Ahmed are unable to show consistency. In the spin department, Kuldeep Yadav bowled sparingly but Akshar Patel was giving plenty of runs. After the Rajasthan match, Ponting said, “Three consecutive losses. Nothing is worse than that.”
