Chennai Super Kings snatched a sensational five-wicket win in the very last ball against Royal Challengers Bangalore in a dramatic IPL match on Thursday.
With this win, Chennai moved to third spot in the IPL points table.
Chasing a stiff target of 206, Morkel blasted three sixes and two fours off the 19th over bowled by Virat Kohli as the hosts overhauled the target in the last ball to record the second highest run-chase in IPL history.
Faf du Plessis (71) and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (41) were the other notable scorers for Chennai who have now got their campaign back on track after two successive defeats.
The home team turned the complexion of the game in the 19th over with Morkel racking up 28 runs and needed 15 runs in the last over.
Morkel perished in the second ball of the last over bowled by Vinay Kumar but Dwayne Bravo (25) did the star turn by taking the team to the victory in the tense dying moments of the cliffhanger.
With two runs needed in the last ball, Ravindra Jadeja edged the ball to the boundary to send the home crowd in frenzy, triggering wild celebrations in the Chennai dug-out.
