Aakash Chopra says “Chris Morris is not a patch on the player we saw for RR in the first half” in the IPL 2021

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra figures that the Rajasthan Royals (RR) have as it were themselves to fault for the defeat against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). As per Chopra, it wasn’t a case of SRH spoiling their party as RR’s key players, starting with Chris Morris, let the group down.

However, RR went down to bottom-placed SRH by seven wickets in Dubai. In Match 40 of the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL) in Dubai. RR posted 164 for 5 batting first, which SRH chased down without trouble.

In an interaction post the game, Chopra stated that RR was lackadaisical with both bat and ball and thus didn’t merit to win.

“Would you actually look at it as somebody spoiling your party or you’d look inward and say that we were simply not good enough? Which Rajasthan wasn’t? If you look at how they finished their innings, the last two overs didn’t produce much with the bat. When they came out to bowl, they just couldn’t put it together,” said the former cricketer

Explaining RR’s bowling, the 44-year-old pointed out that Morris has been the greatest disappointment of all.

“The first over Chetan Sakariya bowled was the 12th over of the innings, don’t know what happened there. Chris Morris, in the opening game of the second leg and in this match. It is not a patch on the player we saw for RR in the first half. If there is no Jofra (Archer), Jos Butter, and (Ben) Stokes, you are really clutching at straws. Then you are looking at your overseas players and saying – please stand up and get counted,” Chopra added.

34-year-old Morris got to be the foremost expensive player obtained within the history of the IPL when RR spent a whopping INR 16.5 crore on him at the sell-off.
