[WATCH] "Mr. India = Mr. Australia"- MI extends a warm welcome to Cameron Green on his arrival ahead of IPL 2023

Star Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder Cameron Green joined his team's camp in Mumbai on Monday (March 27) to commence preparations ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season.

It will be the debut season for the lanky allrounder in the cash-rich T20 league. MI signed him at a mini-auction in December last year by offering a whopping INR 16.5 crore paycheck.

The 23-year-old player is still not a proven performer in the T20 format. Across eight T20I games for Australia, Cameron Green has scored 139 runs at an average of 17.37 while playing majorly in the middle order.

A couple of times last year, he opened the innings against India and hit two blazing half-centuries at an explosive strike rate. Cameron Green's raw potential and all-round ability must have fascinated the Mumbai Indians, who went all in for him at the mini-auction.

MI updated fans about Cameron Green's arrival in the team's camp by sharing a video on their official Instagram handle. They captioned it:
