‘He has to do something not only in batting but bowling..’ – Sunil Gavaskar names RCB player whose performance will be under scanner in IPL 2024

Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar feels RCB newcomer Cameron Green needs to perform well in the IPL 2024. Notably, the IPL 2024 is all set to commence in March, with 10 teams competing for the ultimate title. However, all eyes will be on RCB as they set to win their first-ever title in IPL history.

However, Sunil Gavaskar believes that Cameron Green needs to perform better this time owing to his high price tag after being traded to RCB from the Mumbai Indians. The former India skipper accepted that the 24-year-old cricketer had performed well in IPL 2023 and went on to score a century for MI, but he needs to perform better in IPL 2024 as RCB seeks their first-ever victory since 2008.

“This player will have to perform better than last year because of the price you bought him for. Yes, I agree he scored a century as well for the Mumbai Indians last year. However, he will have to perform better than that because you should recover the price you bought him for and the Mumbai Indians didn’t recover that,” Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports.

I feel Cameron Green will be a finisher only because they already have top-order batters: Sunil Gavaskar

Sunil Gavaskar feels that Cameron Green needs to perform with the bat and the ball if they want to recover the heavy price tag. Moreover, the legendary cricketer feels that Australia’s great cricketer will be playing the role of finisher, as they already have top orders and middle orders with the likes of Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Glenn Maxwell.

“If RCB have to recover the price, he has to do something not only in batting but bowling as well. He can deliver with the bat because he has that ability. Green can play the big shots. He is well-organized in batting. I feel he will be a finisher only because they already have top-order batters. (Rajat) Patidar will play at No. 3. Your top two will be Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli. (Glenn) Maxwell will come at No. 4,” he added further.
