Pietersen blasts Green's IPL form, calls him 'not good enough' at No. 3

KKR's Cameron Green is facing heavy criticism after failing to make an impact with the bat. Former England captain Kevin Pietersen has questioned his selection at No. 3, labeling him "not good enough" for the role.

Green has scored just 24 runs across three matches and is yet to resume bowling this season. Pietersen argued that without his bowling, Green is merely a middle-order batter who doesn't warrant the responsibility of batting at No. 3.

Former India coach Sanjay Bangar also suggested Green doesn't fit the specialist overseas slot if he cannot bowl, implying KKR should consider Rovman Powell instead.
