Cameron Green's Bowling Return Fails for Kolkata Knight Riders

Cameron Green, who was the IPL's most expensive overseas recruit at $2.77 million, returned to bowling after recovering from a lower back injury but could not prevent Kolkata's defeat. KKR set a target of 182 runs, scoring 181/4, but Lucknow chased it down with Choudhary's remarkable performance, coming in at 104 for 5 and hitting a 25-ball half-century. This loss marks KKR's fourth consecutive defeat, with their only point coming from a washout against Punjab Kings.
