IPL 2016: It was probably my best T20 knock, says Chris Morris

Brought by his whirlwind 82 Delhi Daredevils agonizingly close to victory and Chris Morris it called its "best innings in T20 cricket," but said that it "annoying", was of a run against Gujarat Lions during an IPL match in New Delhi, to finally go down.
Coming out staggers in 10.4 overs to bat at a difficult time with Daredevils at 57-4 while chasing a challenging 173, blasted Morris 82 from only 32 balls studded with four boundaries and eight sixes.
He scored on his fifty in just 17 balls, the fastest half-century of the season.
The South African shared 87 runs for the fifth wicket with country counterparts JP Duminy (48 off 43 balls) Daredevils take on the verge of a sensational win before experienced Praveen Kumar and Dwayne Bravo produced brilliant final two overs Daredevils to 171 to limit five.
"It was probably my best innings in T20 cricket. I would have a just missed a first ball and looked like an absolute idiot, but it was just one of those days for me, if I a come from the ball in transition. It was annoying we have lost, but tomorrow the sun will come back, "he said after the game press conference late on Wednesday.
"There was a lot of pressure. We need almost 13 an over, when I came out to bat. Before I came to bat, I said to myself 'even give one or two'. It was an obvious quote, we had to do. I my natural game played. when the ball is in my zone every day, I would, after even gone when we need five an over. it's just the way I play my game. Luckily it was today. "
Morris said that it was to send a good wicket and they targeted short boundaries and no particular bowler during the hunt.
He also praised Duminy him support from the other end for lending.
"We aimed at the short border over the bowlers. As I said, it was a pretty good wicket. JP (Duminy) played hell of a knock to rotate with respect to the strike and to meet its zones. Unfortunately, he got on a important point of the game. Like I said, when the ball is in our zone, we will go to
it matter who the pitcher is, "he said.
in after winning the toss as openers Brendon McCullum (60 off 36) and Dwayne Smith played (53 from 30) explosive punches before Daredevils bowlers things retreated to a certain extent to the rear to put Daredevils skipper Zaheer Khan decision, the opposition los Gujarat Lions restricted to 172 for six.
The way McCullum and Smith were going at a time when Gujarat were well on course for a 200 plus total.
But bowlers Delhi, particularly Imran Tahir (3/24) and Morris (2/35) rolled well in the middle overs the total to keep under control.
"There were two of the most destructive batsmen in world cricket to his bowling honest. If these two you can start to see what they can do. I thought they played well. We gave them a few too many loose balls but that's the game of cricket. If you could roll perfect six balls each time, then you will be a legend. At the end of the day it was quite a good wicket and a serious game of cricket. Unfortunately we lost, and that is quite annoying, "Morris said ,
Morris also came to support his skipper from Zaheer, who by McCullum and Smith made object on Wednesday.
"The guy (Zaheer) is a genius. The way Zaks brain works, is brilliant. It could have been another day for Zak. Zak went for four of the first ball and it induces a pitch, between the holder and slip Fielder went. When Zak makes a decision, I returned to him 100 percent. this is the reason why he is the captain and that's why he scored so many wickets. "
Morris, who on Saturday turns 29, praised the backroom combination of Rahul Dravid and Paddy Upton, the assets in this season so far contributed in turning Delhi.
"That's the genius of Rahul Dravid and Paddy Upton. They give you a lot of space to grow as a person. As a cricketer they leave as much as possible to grow. They give you something to do. They are together brilliantly."
Meanwhile, Gujarat Lions pacer Praveen Kumar, who overturned a sensational penultimate and conceded just four runs before the 18 required in the last two overs he said focused only on its strengths Bowling.
"The plan was to bowl as much point balls as possible to increase the running speed and create pressure on their batsmen. My attitude was simple. My strength is that I good Yorkers bowl can and that's what was going on in my head. You must dish according to your strength and my strength is yorkers "Praveen, who gave away from his four overs only 13 runs but without success said.
From the national bill for a while now, took Praveen that a comeback is in his mind, but what is more important for him in his team's victory in every game cicket contribute.
"I take seriously every game. I usually play in every game, whether it IPL, domestic cricket or a game in my neighborhood. I always try my best and help to give the team the victory. Yes every cricketer thinks to make a comeback, but I am satisfied with the fact that I'm bowling well and the team wins, "he said.
When asked why was Ravindra Jadeja not after the left arm used spinners conceded 14 runs in his only over of the match Wedensday, Praveen said: "There was a lot of dew in the ground and the fast bowlers were bowling well so our plan was bowl more with the pacers. Spinners were not much to get turn with the ball. also (Suresh) Raina tried two overs, but the ball was skidding more because of dew. "
