IPL 2021: Unadkat, Miller and Morris star as RR shock DC in low-scoring Mumbai thriller

IPL 2021: Big money-signing Chris Morris proved his worth, hitting a quickfire 36 not out as Rajasthan Royals prevailed in a low-scoring thriller against Delhi Capitals on Thursday after David Miller's 62 in their successful 148-run chase.

Chris Morris proved his worth as the big-money signing helped Rajasthan Royals pull off a thrilling chase against Delhi Capitals in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 encounter at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. Morris hit 4 huge sixes as the Royals gunned down a 148-run target on a tricky pitch in Mumbai. Morris had a difficult evening earlier this week when he was denied a single by captain Sanju Samson in their failed chase against Punjab Kings. However, the man, who was bought for a record-breaking Rs 16.25 crore, kept his cool and redeemed himself with a stunning onslaught against a quality death-bowling unit in Delhi Capitals. The Royals needed 58 runs in the last 5 overs and Morris, with good company from Jaydev Unadkat, got them past the finish line. Morris hit 4 huge sixes, 2 against Kagiso Rabada, as the former champions opened their account in IPL 2021.
