The Morkel Moment: Morkel's sensational hitting against Virat Kohli

...and the carnage commences

A year before David Miller announced his calibre to the world by evoking his father's now popular adage of "..if it is in the arc, it is out of the park," Morkel taught it to Kohli the hard way. With the game still in RCB's grasp, Morkel swung the second ball of the over in perfect compliance with the trajectory of its delivery and sent it sailing over the long on boundary.

"A clean strike," yelled an ecstatic Pommy Mbwanga in the commentary box as the home crowd got ecstatic at the exploits of their ol' reliable champion. Ten runs off the first two balls, this game could down the wire from here, a prospect entirely staved off at the start of the over.

But now, Chepauk believed. As did Morkel.
