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

18.3 33 needed off 10

When was the last time you saw Kohli crumble under pressure?

As a result of the last delivery, Kohli overcompensates and goes short without any third man in place. Morkel knowing full well of the security he has in case of a mistimed shot, goes for the big heave and a thick outside edge rolls away to the boundary. Could this be the momentum and an additional slice of fortune CSK needed to sway things in their favour out of nowhere?

The idea to take the pace off the ball by giving Kohli a go seems to be failing. He has been intimidated by Morkel's hitting prowess and in the course lost the plot to bowl simple tight lines instead of trying too many variations.
