However, all three failed on Saturday evening at the Wankhede Stadium as Morris had them caught in the deep.
“We have done quite a lot of homework. He (Russell) got a 20-ball fifty in the last game, so he is hitting the ball sweet and you have to be lucky and today I got lucky. Sometimes you have to hope that the guy mishits the ball,” mentioned Morris, who was purchased for Rs 16.25 at the mini-public sale forward of this season.
Morris was completely satisfied that his facet rebounded after poor outing in the final match towards Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) the place they couldn’t take a single wicket.
RCB romped to a ten-wicket win, as openers Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal added unbeaten 181 for the first wicket.
“It was good. We obviously took a pasting in the last game against a very good team and on a good surface. So to come out today and restrict them to that total is quite pleasing,” mentioned Morris.
“When a guy gets a hundred and the other an 80, you just have to take your hat off and say well played. This happens in T20, it is a rude game and last game was rude but today we looked to enjoy ourselves, we were a lot more louder today and had a lot more smiles in the field,” he added earlier than saying that they’re getting their motivation from what is occurring round the world resulting from Covid-19 pandemic.
“Our main motivation is what’s happening around the world and we are privileged to entertain people. It is quite a big responsibility for us to put up entertainment for people watching at home.”
