Cameron Green didn’t let his ego get in his way: Sachin Tendulkar
New Delhi (IANS) | Mumbai Indians mentor Sachin Tendulkar heaped praise on Cameron Green for his brilliant unbeaten 64 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, saying the batsman didn’t let his ego get in the way despite his difficult start to the campaign.
Green did not have a good start to the IPL, scoring 5, 12, 17 not out and 1 in the first four matches. He hit an unbeaten 64 in 40 balls on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Mumbai Indians were struggling at 95/3 in the 12th over but Green shared a 56-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Tilak Verma (37 off 17 balls). Mumbai made a challenging score of 192 runs.
“I think I’ve learned something,” Sachin said in a video shared on Mumbai Indians’ social media. And I think we all got the same message from Green. He can hit the ball like that but he had a tough initial phase. He didn’t let his ego get in his way. Ego is something that always makes you do wrong things. He didn’t do that.”
He said, “Green chose the right direction in the interest of our team. He could have played a bad shot as well. If he had got out, we would not have reached 192. He should be commended for his effort.”
The Australian all-rounder also showed his hand in bowling by taking the crucial wicket of Aiden Markram for which he was awarded the player of the match award.
