 Abhishek Nayar has termed Cameron Green’s absence with the ball in IPL 2026 as “unfortunate” due to a back injury but stressed KKR view him as a long-term successor to Andre Russell. Nayar said the franchise invests in players for their overall value, not short-term returns. He also backed Varun Chakaravarthy, saying the spinner is mentally strong and will bounce back despite recent struggles. Abhishek Nayar has termed Cameron Green’s absence with the ball in IPL 2026 as “unfortunate” due to a back injury but stressed KKR view him as a long-term successor to Andre Russell.
