Mumbai: Cameron Green, the most expensive player of the five-time winner Mumbai Indians, showed his talent at a crucial time. The Mumbai team landed at their home Wankhede Stadium against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. Mumbai was in dire need of a win in this match to reach the playoffs. Hyderabad put Mumbai in trouble by giving a target of 201 runs, but Green scored a stormy century in this match. This is the first century of Green’s T20 career.
Green scored a century in this match, which is also his IPL century. Green showed his stormy style in this match and thrashed the Hyderabad bowlers fiercely. Green completed his century in 46 balls, which was the fastest century of the season.
Fifty hit on 20 balls
Green did the same work with the bat in this match which is expected of him and for which he was bought by Mumbai. Green was bought by Mumbai for 17.25 crores. The batting done by Green in this match seems to have recovered Mumbai’s money. Green had completed his half-century in just 20 balls. Even after this, he did not stop and continued to score runs.
Green completed his half-century by hitting a six on the fifth ball of the ninth over. While coming here, he had hit five sixes and four fours. It can be estimated from this that how stormy innings Green would have played.
Scored first IPL century
After scoring a half-century, Green again started playing more freely and started taking the team closer to victory. However, the nervousness of the nervous nineties was visible on this batsman, due to which Green was able to complete the century after a while. He completed his century in 47 balls but he could have done it earlier also. He hit eight fours and as many sixes in his innings. He completed his century by taking one run on the last ball of the 18th over and also won the team.
With this victory of Mumbai, he has kept his playoff hopes alive. Now his eyes will be on the match between Royal Challengers and Gujarat Titans. Mumbai will pray that the Bangalore team loses the match.
