Chris Green is a South African-born Australian all-rounder, most famous for his economical spin bowling in T20 cricket across the world. Green plays for the New South Wales in Australia’s domestic circuit while he has also represented Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League along with playing the PSL for the Lahore Qalandars and Guyana Amazon Warriors in the CPL.

In 59 T20 games, the Aussie has picked up 45 wickets and scored 407 runs, though what stands out is his economy. Green, with an economy of 6.57, has been the best in the last 1 year in T20 cricket surpassing some legends of this format including Rashid Khan, Imran Tahir and Sunil Narine.

Green, a relatively unknown face for most of the franchises, was bought by KKR for his base price of INR 20 Lakhs. Though it seems difficult for Green to be picked up straight away ahead of Narine, the Bengal franchise could throw in a surprise in the form of the Aussie all-rounder.
