IPL 2021 | Quite nice to know that Rajasthan can win a game basically from anywhere, reckons Chris Morris

Under the leadership of Sanju Samson, Rajasthan Royals have evoked a never-say-die attitude, that was largely missing from their side as a group in last year’s IPL. The franchise despite being bent in both the fixtures never broke, with a win and a close loss against Punjab Kings in their IPL opener. Against Delhi, things didn’t change a whole lot in the second innings, where Rajasthan found themselves in a tricky position. 

On the other hand, the all-rounder also credited the opposition bowlers for hitting the right length on the night. While doing that, Morris also praised David Miller for his knock, which allowed the Royals to have a sniff at winning the encounter. 

In the first encounter, Morris was denied a single off the fifth delivery of the 20th over, with five runs needed for the Royals. Recalling that incident, the all-rounder pressed that he would have sacrificed his wicket to just watch Sanju Samson hit the ball and had no regrets over that single. 

“(When asked about the single denied in the previous game) I was gonna run back no matter what to sacrifice because Sanju was hitting it so sweetly. Sanju was hitting it like a dream, I wouldn't have been too upset if he had hit the last ball for a six.”

“There are guys who get paid to bat and there are guys who get paid to slog, I know what I am. I am a slogger that swings everything I can, I play so much golf. The last game, the close game, we took so much out of that as a team. Chasing 222, it's quite a daunting task. For us to get as close as we did on the day, we took a lot out of that first game of ours.”
