‘You need to perform no matter the price tag,’ says Chris Morris

Morris says he and Stokes would be an interesting duo to come up against

The Indian Premier League auction’s most expensive buy, Chris Morris, says leading the Rajasthan Royals’ pace attack in the absence of injured Jofra Archer will be an added responsibility but it doesn’t change his role in the team. “In every single team that I have played in the IPL, my role has been with the new ball and at the death. That doesn’t really change. I have always had fast bowlers in the team and I’ve been their supporting act,” Morris said at a virtual press conference. “It won’t be a new role if I am leading an attack, won’t be new if I am supporting. There is a little bit of responsibility when it comes to leading the attack. But like I said, it wouldn’t be alien to me,” he added.
