‘He did not let his ego come in the way’, Tendulkar on Cameron Green

TIL Desk Sports / Mumbai Indians (MI) mentor Sachin Tendulkar was full of praise for Cameron Green for his unbeaten 64-run knock against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and said that the batter did not let his ego come in the way even after having a tough start of his campaign.

Green did not have a promising start to his Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 campaign as he registered series of low scores — 5, 12, 17*, 1 in the first four games, before smashing an unbeaten 64 off 40 on Tuesday. On Tuesday, when MI were reeling 95/3 in the 12th over, Green along with Tilak Varma (37 off 17) stitched a 56-run stand for the fourth wicket as MI posted a 192-run target after a modest start of the innings.

“I think I learned something. And I feel that we have all picked the same message from Green. He can hit the ball as long as anyone in the team. But the initial phase was a tough phase for him. And he did not let his ego come in the way. Ego is something which will always encourage you to do the wrong things. He did not.
