Cameron Green took 5 wickets and Starc 2 wickets.
Cameron Greene was interviewed after the first day’s play:
I didn’t do anything to pick the highest amount in the IPL auction. I gave my name in the auction. It is automatic. IPL salary will not change anything like who I am, how I think, my faith. He said that after the auction, he focused on the Test match with the help of his teammates.
