Cameron Green Says He Was Taken Aback By "How Nice" KL Rahul Was In 3rd ODI | Cricket News
Australian all-rounder Cameron Green, who replaced injured David Warner in the third ODI, has revealed that he received words of encouragement from Indian batsman KL Rahul when he arrived at the crease for the first time in international cricket. The talented young all-rounder made his international debut in the final ODI against India on Wednesday. Green, who had batted at number seven in List A games, came into bat at number five when Australia still needed 186 runs to win.
“I was actually taken aback by how nice KL Rahul was behind the stumps. I think he asked me if I was nervous or not and I just replied saying ‘yeah obviously a little bit nervous’ and he just said ‘go well, youngster’,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Green as saying.
“I thought it would have been the opposite. I think Virat [Kohli] was trying to be pretty loud at the time. I was a bit taken aback by how nice that was. I’ll remember that forever,” he added.
Green, who failed to take his side over the line, appreciated the “quality” of the Indian team’s spin attack and praised Ravindra Jadeja’s “beautiful” bowling.
