Best short Film (innings) Chris Morris 82 off 32 in IPL

Unfortunately, Kohli could not receive this award as he opened the innings in the IPL and scored too many centuries, hence he could not be considered for an award related to a short inning.

However, it was South Africa’s Chris Morris who produced a blistering innings in the Delhi Daredevils’s IPL match against the Gujarat Lions, but unfortunately, his innings went in vain as DD lost one of the most thrilling games of the season. En-route his innings of 82, Morris also scored the third fastest fifty in the history of the IPL.

If there was anyone to pick to present this award, it would be Chris Gayle, who has mesmerised us with numerous short “films”.

Best dialogue: MS Dhoni at the World T20 with the Australian journalist

If you ever want to come in front of the camera and become famous, you just need to be a journalist and ask MS Dhoni a silly question during a post-match interview. Ask Samuel Ferris, the Australian journalist about it, and he would tell you everything.

The incident occurred after India’s exit at the world T20 semifinals against West Indies. After the retirement question got popped yet again from Ferris, Dhoni called him on the podium and made him sit beside him, putting his arm around his shoulders and stroking his beard in mock thoughtfulness.

Dhoni also said that he wished his victim had been an Indian reporter so that he could have asked him if he had a younger brother or son who was ready to take up the role of India wicketkeeper.
