Green, 23, was bought for a staggering INR 17.50 crore (AUD 3.15 million approx.) by Mumbai Indians in Friday's IPL auction at the end of a frenzied bidding war with Delhi Capitals.

"To be fair, I think I didn't do much to kind of earn that," Green said. "I just put my name into the auction, and it just happened. It doesn't change who I am or how I think and all the confidence I have in my cricket. Hopefully, I didn't change too much."

Green said on Friday that he was shaking after the final bid was made in the auction. But he quickly had to turn his attention to the Test match that was starting on Monday. He believes the occasion and his team-mates were able to bring him back down to earth.

"Definitely the players can bring you back down pretty quickly," Green said. "It's a good group that we've got at the moment. Everyone gets around you when they need to and can bring you back pretty quickly when they want to. I think everyone was focused on Boxing Day. It's a fixture that you point out at the start of the year, and you look forward to so now that takes your focus 100%."

"I try and brush it all aside to be fair, I'm not trying to read too much into it," Green said. "Uzzie has been onto me. He basically came up to me and said, 'I want to just let you know that it's all very light humour and just because I love you and I'm just so happy for you.' The boys were really good."
