AB Morkel Twenty20 IPL Chennai Super Kings Star
February 9, 2009
Johannes Albertus ‘Albie’ Morkel was born in Veerniging, Transvaal on 10 July 1981. He is the brother of the tall South African bowler Morne Morkel.
Owing to his good run in the domestic competitions, he made his International debut against New Zealand but failed to make his mark. Albie Morkel was also selected to play against the Asian side in the Afro-Asian Cup but he withdrew because of an injury. In 2007 both the Morkel brothers made history by becoming the first brothers to open a bowling in an ODI International. His domestic performances had earned him a reputation of a hard-hitter of ball and this lead to his inclusion in the T20 World Cup in which he made good contributions.
In the first season of IPL, Kepler Wessels, the coach of Chennai Super Kings paid special attention to including Albie Morkel in his side. Kepler having a close eye upon Albie in South African domestic cricket knew the importance of a dynamic all-rounder like him, and went on to give him a contract worth $6,75,000.
Albie Morkel was one of the main bowlers of the Super Kings in IPL and took many crucial wickets. His hard-hitting batting style also stunned many opposition sides. His contributions with the bat and ball were important for the Super Kings to reach the final of the IPL.
In the upcoming Twenty 20 Champions League Albie Morkel’s both domestic teams Nashua Titans and Chennai Super Kings are participating. But Albie has picked to play for Chennai, a decision which was welcomed in India but not so much in South Africa. Bowlers from all over the world must be cautious of this dangerous T20 cricketer in the upcoming Champions League.
