The only thing worse than a batsman scoring few runs in T20 is scoring them slowly Morgan has done this too, scoring at fewer than a run a ball. In 17 matches for Kolkata - spread between the first leg of the IPL, before Covid-19 led to the remainder being postponed, and the second portion played out in the last month - he mustered just 133 runs at 11.08 apiece. Alas, his shot was intercepted by a fine catch just inside the ropes from Deepak Chahar: the sort of terrific fielding that batsmen bereft of form often lament. From his eighth delivery, Morgan finally relocated a scintilla of timing, flicking Josh Hazlewood to the leg side boundary.

In his first seven balls, Morgan was bereft of timing, managing only four singles as KolkataвЂ™s task moved from outlandish to impossible. But Morgan never gave any suggestion that he could change the complexion of the match. 'I feel like it's such a grounded and humble team, and great to be a part of.'Дefeat for Kolkata already looked likely when Morgan walked out at No 5, with KKR needing 96 from 8.3 overs. 'It feels amazing, can't describe it,'В Moeen said. In DhoniвЂ™s side was Moeen Ali, who further vindicated ChennaiвЂ™s signing him for ВЈ690,000 by plundering an undefeated 37 from 20 balls to become the first ever Englishman to win the IPL final. This further added to the legacy of MorganвЂ™s opposing number MS Dhoni, who has now led Chennai to four IPL titles, to go with a T20 and ODI World Cup apiece.
