The reigning T20 World Cup champions, Australia might have lost the three-match T20I series against India but they took a big positive from the tour. Cameron Green, who filled in the shoes of David Warner at the top of the order, grabbed the opportunity from both hands and displayed his mercurial potential on the big stage.
Green scored 118 runs in three matches at a stunning strike rate of 214.55 against India. After the world witnessed Green's swashbuckling exploits with the bat, star Australia's all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was unsurprised by his countryman's imperious show with the willow.
"It’s just the start of his T20 career. The amount of money he’s going to earn over the next 10 years, I’m going to be looking for a couple of free feeds," Marsh said to cricket.com.au.
"People from the outside might be surprised but no one’s surprised (internally). He’s a super talent. He was given a role to go out and be really aggressive.
"Most importantly for me it’s the unselfishness – he’s got incredible skill, but for a young guy who hasn’t got a cemented spot in that team to play fearless cricket, that shows more about him than his actual skill.
"To have someone like him not in your team, it shows how good we are. We’re the defending world champions for a reason," the all-rounder added.
Interestingly, Green is not part of Australia's T20 World Cup but will participate in the series against West Indies before the multi-national tournament gets underway on October 16.
