Morris Believes He and Stokes Would Have Different Roles to Play in IPL 2021

Chris Morris said that to be in the demand list of so many teams boosted the confidence in him. He also spoke about the roles he and Stokes could play in Indian Premier League.

When Morris Became Most Expensive Buy in IPL

Chris Morris became the most experienced player in the IPL 2021 auction. Speaking about the same, Morris who was sold to Rajasthan Royals for INR 16.25 crore in February, said, “We all know for you to go for a high price tag, it means that people want you in their team and that your services are quite valued so yeah it gives you quite a lot of confidence.”

He recalled the moments of IPL auction when he became the most expensive player. “I’ll be the first person to say that my breath was taken away. I did not expect, first of all, to be bought for that much and for so many teams to want my services, so yeah it is definitely a humbling feeling. It took my breath away for that to happen, and for teams to keep going for me like that blew my mind. I never in my wildest dreams thought that I’d be playing in my eighth IPL. So for me to still be playing, for me still to be needed, for my services to be valued is very cool, and very humbling.”

Last year Morris could play only nine games for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He was release by the franchise ahead of IPL 2021 auction. Morris opined, “All my preps have been right but the injuries have come at the wrong time. I think last year was a bit of a different one – there wasn’t any cricket coming into the IPL so there were a lot of soft tissue injuries, lots of pulled muscles just because of the lack of cricket. Like I keep reiterating, I’ve done everything I can to keep cricket fit and when that first game comes, I’ll be ready to go”.
