IPL 2023: “Can’t Wait to See When It Packed”- Cameron Green Excited to Play At Wankhede Stadium for Mumbai Indians

IPL 2023: We are just one day away from the start of one of the biggest sporting events in the world. It is the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League, which is all set to kick off on March 31. Fans will see the Chennai Super Kings face the Gujarat Titans in the first game at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday. After a thrilling season last time, the excitement among the fans is immense.

Teams that did well in 2022 will look to improve more, while teams that failed will look to bounce back. The most successful IPL team, Mumbai Indians, finished last on the table. Thus, they will look to make the coming edition special and win their sixth IPL title. For that reason, the franchise has made a number of changes to the team. The biggest one is the signing of star Australian all-rounder Cameron Green to the team.

IPL 2023: “Wankhede Stadium is pretty special to me”- Cameron Green ahead of IPL 2023

The franchise signed Cameron Green for a whopping amount of INR 17.5 crore, making him the biggest purchase for MI in the history of the IPL auction. He also became the second-most expensive player in the IPL’s history. Green is expected to give a boost to the team in both departments with his all-around ability. He recently scored his maiden test century in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy in India. He is also in good form with both the bat and the ball.

Green can bat at the top of the order, do the finishing job, and be equally effective with the ball as well. He is a tall lad and can get extra bounce at the Wankhede. The franchise posted a video clip featuring Green, who talked about the experience of playing at the Wankhede. He said, “The ground’s pretty special, I’m lucky enough to play here. It’s a cool ground to be around with all the blues here. Ya, can’t wait to see when its packed.”

MI will play their first game on April 2, Sunday. It will be a double header, and Mumbai will play the evening game at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. At Wankhede, Mumbai will play their first match on April 8 against CSK, which is expected to be a full house.
