NEW DELHI: Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has raised concerns over Kolkata Knight Riders’ team balance in IPL 2026, especially due to Cameron Green’s limited role. Bought as a key all-rounder, Green hasn’t bowled in the first two matches, affecting the side’s overall combination and flexibility.Gavaskar suggested that KKR may need to rethink their strategy.

“KKR will need to think about their combination if Cameron Green is not going to bowl. If he isn’t contributing with the ball, then they might have to consider bringing in another specialist batter,” he told Star Sports.While acknowledging Green’s batting ability, Gavaskar pointed out inconsistency. “We know he has scored a hundred in the IPL and that he can bat well, but his form hasn’t been great recently,” he said. He also highlighted weak spots in the middle order, adding, “Green at No. 4 is fine, but the bigger concern seems to be the No. 5 and No. 6 positions.”KKR have struggled so far, losing back-to-back matches, which has only added to concerns about team balance and performance.On the other hand, Gavaskar praised Nitish Kumar Reddy for his all-round display for Sunrisers Hyderabad. He noted clear improvement in Reddy’s bowling, noting, “He is definitely bowling quicker now and has clearly added a bit more pace… You can see better rhythm and flow in his action as well.”Reddy’s performance, both with bat and ball, played a key role in his team’s win. Gavaskar called this progress “very encouraging news for India,” highlighting his potential as a future asset for the national team.
