Proteas all terrain Chris Morris says it is “nice to feel loved” as he continues his good form with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL.
The 33-year-old missed the start of the tournament due to a unique muscle strain in his stomach, but he has kicked off and almost instantly became a key player for an RCB team that also includes superstars like AB de Villiers. and Virat Kohli. .
He has played half as many games as some of his teammates, but Morris is already the RCB player with the most wickets in the IPL this year, having won nine scalp on an average of 11.11 and an economy rate of only 5.00.
In his only batting effort so far in the competition, Morris scored an undefeated 25 * (8).
With RCB well positioned to make a playoff run, Morris is set to play a big role for the duration of the tournament.
But, in an interview with Cricinfo, he revealed how satisfying it was to simply be a part of the procedures after having to watch from the sidelines.
“Give me someone who doesn’t like the feeling of being loved, whether it’s in sports, in a relationship, or just in life in general,” Morris said.
“It’s nice to feel important. The medical staff was amazing. Being taken back to the park was really good. I’ve never had that kind of injury before. It was something new to me.”
Another member of the RCB side is the great Dale Steyn from Protea, and social media clearly shows that Morris and Steyn have a special friendship.
“Dale is a legend. The reason I’ve been lucky is because he’s not just a mentor, he’s actually one of my friends,” Morris said.
“I pinch myself from time to time and say, Dale is my friend. We love spending time and doing things together.
“I am very fortunate not only to have him in the dressing room but also as my partner. His contributions have been very important and valuable. For me, the most important thing for me with Dale is not the things we talk about on the field, but more things about the ones we talk about off the pitch, in life in general.
“For a guy who’s been playing since he was 20 and he’s almost 47 now, I’m kidding. That he’s 38 and still doing what he does is amazing. The things we talk about and the things he brings to the team is invaluable. “
