“Goodbyes are never easy. But with a heavy heart, we, the MI Paltan, thank Cameron Green for all the wonderful memories he gave us in the Blue and Gold through the 2023 IPL. He has been traded from Mumbai Indians to Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of the 2024 Auction. Let’s take a moment to reprise his back-to-back fifties against SRH and Punjab Kings, his quickfire 26-ball 44 in the iconic chase against Rajasthan Royals, and of course, his century in the final league game to carry MI into the play-offs,” said the five-time champions through their website.
Green’s IPL stats
After being brought by MI in the 2023 IPL auction, Cameron Green played as a regular player for the team, featuring in all of their 16 matches, scoring a massive 452 runs in the season. He also collected 6 scalps for the side.
