NEW DELHI: The focus ahead of the IPL 2026 clash between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has been on whether Cameron Green will return to bowling. During the warm-up ahead of the match at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday, the all-rounder was seen bowling in the nets, raising hopes that he might soon resume full duties after missing out with the ball in earlier matches.KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane made it clear that Green’s bowling is key to improving the team combination.

“When he (Green) is allowed to bowl, we will see him, the combination gets better, so Rovman Powell plays, when Cam Green bowls then we have an extra bowler,” he said at the toss after being asked to bat first. He also confirmed a lineup change, adding, “Just one change – Sunil (Narine) comes in place of Blessing, Varun is still recovering from his hand injury.”Talking about batting approach, Rahane said, “We just want to, as a batting unit, watch the ball and react, rather than putting pressure on ourselves, trying to focus on a certain target and then try to achieve that. I think just being in the moment, try to react and watch the ball.”The discussion around Green started after KKR’s loss to Mumbai Indians, where he didn’t bowl and the team struggled to defend a big total. Rahane’s earlier comment, “That question you need to ask Cricket Australia,” added to the confusion and sparked debate about player workload and outside influence.Later, Cricket Australia clarified that there was no sudden restriction. Green has been managing a lower back issue and is gradually working towards bowling again. His recent net session suggests progress, though it’s unclear if he will bowl today against LSG. For such a high-profile player, expectations remain high for both batting and bowling contributions.

Chris Jericho made his return to Dynamite recently. He has now sent a message to Chris Benoit’s son.

Chris Jericho spent the better part of the past year on the shelf. As a result, there was a lot of speculation about his future. Many reports suggested that the former World Champion could be leaving Tony Khan’s company for WWE. Jericho also teased returning to his previous employer by posting clips from his time in the sports entertainment juggernaut. However, this was not what happened. Last week on Dynamite, Jericho made his return to AEW in Winnipeg and addressed the fans. Now, he is set to face Ricochet in a singles match at Dynasty 2026.

Tony Khan revealed why Chris Jericho returned to AEW

Rumors were rampant for a very long time that Chris Jericho was done with AEW, and he could be returning to WWE. It was even reported that Jericho would return to the Stamford-based promotion when his contract was set to expire on December 31, 2025. However, he signed a new deal with Tony Khan’s company.

Speaking on the Coach & Bro Show, Tony Khan said that Jericho had a choice and he chose to remain in AEW. He also revealed that they had planned his return date a long time ago.

“I do know that Chris had a choice and he wanted to be in AEW. I’ve been in constant communication with Chris, and he definitely told me he wanted to be in AEW and very specifically in Winnipeg on that date. We’ve had that circled for a long time, going back to last year. It was a choice that Chris made that he’d rather be in AEW than wrestling anywhere else, and I think that’s awesome. He has always been consistent that he loves AEW.” [H/T @@TheDrainmaker on X]

It remains to be seen if Jericho will be victorious in his in-ring return.
