Australian all-rounder Cameron Green has been one of the few lucky players to have played with two of the stalwarts of Indian cricket, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, in his short IPL career.

Green, who has featured in just 19 IPL matches so far across two seasons, turned out for Mumbai Indians (MI) last year while he is playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the ongoing edition.

The 24-year-old termed it as an opportunity to learn the key aspects of T20 cricket, and how modern greats like Kohli and Rohit approach their game.

“They are both greats in the game. Every time I think about it, I'm still pinching myself that I've been lucky enough to play with two of the greats of world cricket, if not Indian cricket,” said Green during a virtual interaction facilitated by RCB on Saturday (March 31).

Green then explained how Kohli and Rohit are different from others. “They're both equally happy to help the team win matches. They're both equally happy to give you a lot of their time, to give you information on the other team and their own experiences and what's worked for them, what hasn't," he added.

Cameron Green also shared an observation he came up noticing while watching Kohli bat from close quarters.

“Sometimes he taps the bat and sometimes he keeps the bat up when he goes to play (a) cricket shot. It's pretty interesting with the things that he comes up with — obviously he's worked it out himself (as to) what works for him.

"When he wants to hit the ball really far, he taps the bat to generate more bat speed. So yeah, there's (that) one thing (but) I don't really want to give away his secrets. Though, he's good enough that it won't affect his game," he noted.

Green has played for RCB in all three matches so far, batting at No. 3 and No. 5 slots. The all-rounder wishes to maintain the flexibility and remain ready to tackle every challenges.

"I am still really fresh in my T20 career and still trying to work out where I am best suited. But I feel I have got the skill sets to bat anywhere. I (have) had success at the top of the order in the IPL. But at the same time, I feel like I physically have the capability to bat down the order,” said Green.
