He opined that Cameron Green could be a match-winner for them if given a consistent run in the top order. Speaking on the matter in his YouTube video, Aakash Chopra said:"Everyone knew and it wasn't a hidden thing that Cameron Green would go towards KKR. We had already said that Cameron Green is a knight. My good guess was that CSK would push them till ₹25 crore, and they pushed them till there only. He eventually went to KKR for ₹25.20 crore for IPL 2026. They have got an option as a top-order batter, who is a quality player. If he stays fit, he bowls and bats, and if he opens in 14 matches, he might play at least four to six knocks that win you the match."On KKR signing Matheesha Pathirana, Chopra stated:"They have placed a massive bid on Pathirana. There is an injury concern, and a bigger concern of form, but they said it doesn't matter, that they would be able to manage, and that they needed him. So they went till ₹18 crore. That was absolutely phenomenal. After that, they needed a backup, that if Pathirana isn't fit, or isn't in form, or is bowling wides, they have Mustafizur Rahman as well."Do you agree with Aakash Chopra's views above?
