“When he (Green) is allowed to bowl, we will look at him, the combination will get better, so Rovman Powell will play, when Cam Green bowls we will have an extra bowler,” he said at the toss after being asked to bat first. He also confirmed changes to the lineup and said, “Just one change – Sunil (Narayan) comes in for Blessing, Varun is still recovering from his hand injury.”Talking about the batting approach, Rahane said, “As a batting unit, we just want to see the ball and react, rather than putting pressure on ourselves, trying to focus on a certain target and then trying to achieve it. I think just staying in the moment, try to react and see the ball.”The buzz around Green started after KKR’s loss to Mumbai Indians, where he did not bowl and the team struggled to defend big scores. Rahane’s previous comment, “This is the question you need to ask Cricket Australia,” added to the confusion and sparked debate about player workload and outside influence.Later, Cricket Australia clarified that no sudden ban was imposed. Green is battling a lower back problem and is slowly working his way back to bowling. His recent net session indicates progress, although it is unclear whether he will bowl against LSG today. Expectations are high for contributions from such a high-profile player, both batting and bowling.
