Ex-England captain Kevin Pietersen criticised KKR all-rounder Cameron Green, who was bought for ₹25.2 crore at IPL 2026 auction, saying, "He hasn't done enough in world cricket to be a number three." "Look at...other teams in this tournament: all the number threes are proper openers or middle-order batters. Along with that, the burden of not bowling is hampering...team," Pietersen added.
