#3 Albie Morkel - 76 wickets

Albie Morkel

An underrated asset in CSK’s triumphs, South African all-rounder Albie Morkel is third in the list of all-time wicket-takers for the franchise. Morkel’s 28-run over against Virat Kohli in 2012 IPL remains his most memorable performance but the South African also delivered similar results with the ball.

Albie Morkel’s association with Chennai Super Kings began from the inaugural season itself. In the 2008 IPL, the medium-pacer snapped 17 wickets in 13 matches and he maintained his spot in the team for the next five seasons.

By 2013 IPL edition, he had featured in 78 matches for Chennai Super Kings. The South African bowler celebrated 76 wickets before he left the franchise.

After leaving CSK, Morkel represented three different teams in the next three years. However, Albie failed to replicate the success he enjoyed at the CSK camp. In his 13 matches after 2013, Morkel could only dismiss nine batsmen. IPL 2016 proved to be his last IPL season.
