Cameron Greene’s IPL 2026 campaign has got off to a poor start, suffering another setback with a freak run-out against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 6 of IPL 2026 in Kolkata.KKR won the toss and invited SRH to bat. Sunrisers Hyderabad made a strong 226/8 in 20 overs, with top and middle-order contributing. Travis Head (46) and Abhishek Sharma (48) provided a brilliant 82-run opening, while Henrik Klaasen led a fluent 52-run innings. Nitish Kumar Reddy provided a late boost with 39 as SRH crossed the 220 mark despite a couple of quick wickets in the middle.
For KKR, Blessing Mazarbani was the standout performer with figures of 4/41, taking key wickets, while support was provided by Vibhu Arora (2/47), Karthik Tyagi (1/48), and Anukul Roy (1/16).KKR got off to a flying start in the powerplay, with Finn Allen dropping Payne for 28 for 24 in the opening over. The runs continued as Abhishek Sharma was taken for 15, taking KKR’s run to 50 in just 3.2 overs. Jaydev Unaddict hit two fours but countered by dismissing Rahane, while a mix-up in the middle led to the odd run-out of Cameron Green, adding to the early drama.A strange run-out at the end of the power playIt was a classic case of why you never run the wrong field. Raghuvanshi deflected it straight to Malinga, who got the boot and half-stopped the ball. Both batsmen hesitated and ended up stranded at mid-pitch. Malinga recovered quickly, picked up the ball, and calmly smashed the stumps at the bowler’s end.Initially, it seemed that Raghuvanshi had crossed over, and even started backing away in frustration. However, replays confirmed that both batters were at the same end, leaving Green short of his ground. Cameron Green departs for 2 off 2 balls in a strange run-out.
