Vivo IPL 2021: Rajasthan Royals recorded their first win, thrashing Delhi Capitals by three wickets in a thrilling encounter.



Vivo IPL 2021: South African all-rounder Chris Morris?s heroic took the inaugural champions Rajasthan Royals over the line against Delhi Capitals with three wickets to spear. Morris proved why he was a million-dollar pick for the franchises in the IPL 2021 auction as he finishes off the match with a six in the penultimate delivery of the last over.



Sanju Samson?s Rajasthan Royals (RR) didn?t have a good start to the innings as their top five batsmen were dismissed in mere 42 runs. Delhi Capitals bowlers were getting enough assistance from the surface however the South African duo David Miller and Chris Morris kept their nerves and finished the game for Rajasthan Royals.



David Miller came to rescue his team after the top order collapse. He played sensible cricket without taking any risk in the low scoring chase at Wankhede. Miller rotated the strike and held the wickets from one end.?



Miller amassed crucial 62 runs off 43 balls which included two towering sixes and seven boundaries before getting dismissed by Avesh Khan in the 16th over.



Another South African came to bat and this time it was the biggest purchase of the Vivo IPL 2021. Chris Morris took the game to the last over and won it for Rajasthan Royals in the penultimate delivery. The all-rounder smacked four smooth sixes in his match-winning 18 balls 36.



Rajasthan Royals won the game by three wickets with one ball to spare and opened their account in the Vivo IPL 2021 campaign.



For Delhi Capitals Avesh Khan picked three wickets while Kagiso Rabada and Chris Woakes scalped two wickets each.



Jayadev Unadkat for Rajasthan Royals was adjudged as the Man of the Match for his fierce opening spell which pushed Delhi Capitals into backfoot.



The pacer picked three initial wickets in his first three overs inside the powerplay. While Mustafizur Rahman got two wickets and Chris Morris got one.



Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant played a captain?s knock of 51 runs from 32 balls when no one from the other end was supporting him. However, Riyan Parag?s brilliant throw ended Pant?s show at Wankhede last night.



Delhi Capitals (DC) only manage to score 147 runs in their quota of 20 overs with the loss of 8 wickets.



With the win against Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals jumped to 5th place with two points while Delhi Capitals are on 4th with as many points.

Vivo IPL 2021: The Vivo Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 has stepped into its final phase where the best of the best four teams will compete against each other in a knockout round to give the final winner of the gala tournament. The league stages went smoothly in two phases and different players from each team made their names with their brilliant gameplay.



Similar to each season, the auctions were held before the start of season fourteen and several players bagged hefty prices for their services. It was reminded to be seen if the million dollar babies manage to perform up to their best and justify their price tag.



As of now, we are out of the league stages and four teams are already knocked out of the tournament while four teams are still competing to bag the coveted trophy and we can make a few assessments of player performances by looking at their stats in the Vivo IPL 2021.&nbsp;



The article will take you through the top 3 Million dollar babies who flopped in the Vivo IPL 2021.



<h2>Top 3 Million dollar babies who flopped in the Vivo IPL 2021:</h2>



3. Jhye Richardson (Punjab Kings):



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/10/Jhye-Richardson-1.jpg" alt="Jhye Richardson, PBKS" class="wp-image-76265" /><figcaption>Image Credit: IPL</figcaption></figure>



The big-name of Australia?s Big Bash League (BBL), Sheffield Shield and other first-class matches, Jhye Richardson, was expected to be an X-factor for Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Vivo IPL 2021 after his recent success in the BBL 10. However, the pacer failed to contribute with his bowling abilities to the team?s success.



Owning the tag of fourth most expensive buy (INR 14 Crores) of the Vivo IPL 2021 auctions, Jhye Richardson failed to live up to the PBKS expectations as he got to play just three IPL matches with Punjab based franchise.



The speedster leaked runs in his only three outings and was bowling with an economy of over 10 and picked just three wickets. Though he opted out of the second leg of the Vivo IPL 2021 in UAE, Richardson is considered a big fail in the IPL 2021.

2. Kyle Jamieson (Royal Challengers Bangalore):



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/10/Kyle-Jamieson.jpg" alt="Kyle Jamieson, RCB" class="wp-image-76266" /><figcaption>Image Credit: IPL</figcaption></figure>



The kiwi lanky bowling all-rounder, Kyle Jamieson, was deemed as one of the best steal deals during the auctions of the Vivo IPL 2021. The New Zealand pacer bagged the tag of the second most expensive bid of the Vivo IPL 2021 at INR 15 Crores.



Owing to his test brilliance, Jamieson was expected to replicate his white-ball performance in the T20s as well, however, that did not happen. The all-rounder featured in nine IPL matches for RCB and picked as many wickets with an invaluable economy of 9.60.



Jamieson also misfired with the bat when given the opportunity. His calibre in international cricket was anything but more than 65 runs with the best score of 16.



It can be said that Kyle Jamieson, though, has misfired, but the all-rounder is still in his early days in the shortest format and can surely improve if exposed to more such encounters.



<h2>1. Chris Morris (Rajasthan Royals):</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/10/Chris-Morris.jpg" alt="Chris Morris, RR" class="wp-image-76267" /><figcaption>Image Credit: IPL</figcaption></figure>



South African bowling all-rounder, Chris Morris, shattered all the past records in the Vivo IPL 2021 as he went on to bag a handsome sum of INR 16.25 Crores, making it the costliest buy in history of the cash-rich league.&nbsp;



Inaugural champions Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the bid for Morris and the franchise would have been happy at that point, of course, on their off-field win, however, that was surely not the case during the on-field encounters.?



Morris played 11 matches and scalped 15 wickets with an economy of 9.17. Out of those 15 wickets, most came in India?s leg as the all-rounder failed drastically in the UAE surface.



Not being able to justify his price tag, Morris wasn?t a potent weapon as he leaked runs on crunch situations. Moreover, his batting experience with Rajasthan Royals (RR) wasn?t memorable either. The all-rounder managed to amass 67 runs in 11 matches.

South African all-rounder Chris Morris announce his all format retirement at 34.



South African pace all-rounder Chris Morris, on Tuesday (January 11th), announced his all format retirement from cricket. The 34-years old took to his social media handles to inform his decision.



Morris, a handy all-rounder, has further informed that he has accepted a coaching role in a domestic team Titans.



In his Instagram post, he thanked everyone who have played their part in his cricketing journey.&nbsp;



"Today I announce my retirement from all forms of cricket! Thanks to all who have played a part in my journey whether it be big or small it's been a fun ride! Delighted to be taking up a coaching role at @titanscricket #lifebeginsnow," Morris wrote on his Instagram page.



Chris Morris has played 69 matches across formats for South Africa in his 8 years short career. The all-rounder scalped 94 wickets in his career at an economy of 5.79. The gifted tail-end batsman has also amassed 2,912 runs throughout his international career.

Despite being a flamboyant, destructive batsman Chris Morris couldn?t translate his talent into hefty, impactful performances for South Africa in international matches. His inconsistency and unfortunate injuries have played a major spoilsport in his career.



Morris played his last international match back in the 2019 OD World Cup. He was roped in SA's national team after Anrish Nortje was ruled out of the tournament due to his share of injury. Since then the cricketer has been constantly overlooked by the Protea selectors.



The Protea all-rounder picked headlines when he became the costliest player in the history of the IPL auctions. Morris bagged a mammoth contract of INR 16.25 Crores from Rajasthan Royals during IPL 2021.



The 34-years old will now contribute as the support staff. He has signed a deal with domestic side Titans following his all format retirement.
