Green: Goes for duck after IPL auction high!

Following his record-breaking selection as the most expensive player in IPL history, Cameron Green was dismissed for a two-ball duck in the Third Ashes Test. This sharp contrast in fortunes highlights the popular adage that "cricket is a great leveller," where success can be immediately followed by failure, irrespective of a player's market value.

The rapid dismissal immediately quieted the discussion and high expectations surrounding his massive ₹25.20 crore (approx. $2.8 million USD) IPL contract with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

It also may have ruffled some feathers of the KKR management to be wary over their substantial investment on him, with concerns about whether they made a potentially costly decision.

His dismissal for a duck after the expensive bidding, also brings back the attention over the "IPL jinx" , a common term used by fans to describe how players who receive large auction sums can sometimes underperform (Ex: Starc in the last season) under the immense pressure and scrutiny that comes with the high price tag.
