Morkel’s first delivery of the 2015 edition of the Pepsi IPL was hit for a
boundary by the Mumbai Indians’ opener Aaron Finch. “It was a good all-round
wicket. A ball later, the Mumbai Indians’
opener was put in a spot of bother by the same bowler who hurried him for pace,
made him play a half-hearted pull and ultimately hole out to Umesh Yadav in the
deep. He ended up with figures of 2 for 18 in his four overs.
“It was
a good all-round wicket. I knew with the new ball there is always going to be
something on offer in the wicket. The key for me was to just stick to my basics
and my game plan. I tried and let the Mumbai Indians batsmen take me on and
tonight it worked for me.”
