After RCB, Rajasthan Royals paid the big bucks to buy the South African all-rounder Chris Morris. Morris was earlier released by RCB in the retention window. Morris is thus back to the franchise from where he started his IPL career.
Morris was on the radar of Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings but finally the Royals roped him in for the sum that they did. Injuries have been a constant struggle for Morris and it will be interesting to see if he can stay fit throughout the next IPL season for the Royals.

In what has been a shocking move, Royal Challengers Bangalore released ace all-rounder Chris Morris ahead of IPLÂ 2021 auction. The all-rounder from the Proteas might fetch a big sum as a couple of franchises might show interest in him when the franchisees meet to build their teams for the big tournament.
Meanwhile, letting go of Morris came as a surprise to many including former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir. The tall and lanky cricketer was one of their best bowlers, who picked 11 wickets from nine matches at a decent economy rate. However, Mike Hesson contemplated that Chris Morris was not in his particular best struggling with injuries.
