thebalanced.newsCameron Green's 79 Powers KKR to 180; Gujarat Titans Win by Five Wickets
In the IPL 2026 match at Narendra Modi Stadium, Cameron Green scored a resilient 79 off 55 balls, including seven fours and four sixes, to help Kolkata Knight Riders reach 180 all out against Gujarat Titans. Green's innings featured partnerships with Rovman Powell and Anukul Roy amid early top-order collapses caused by Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj. His towering six dented a Tata Sierra on display, becoming a viral moment. Despite his batting effort and a notable catch, Green did not bowl due to cramps, as confirmed by captain Ajinkya Rahane. Gujarat Titans chased down the target, led by Shubman Gill's 86, securing a five-wicket win and handing KKR their fifth consecutive loss.
