The player, who was bid as much as Rs 16.25 crore, spoke two years later, saying, “The pressure of money in the IPL…”

The sixteenth season of the Indian Premier League, the world’s biggest professional T20 league, has just started. All the cricketers of the world who are in India dream of playing in this tournament. The players also earn the highest amount by playing in this league. At the same time, former South African cricketer Chris Morris has admitted that the money earned in IPL is a pressure on the players.

Morris is seen as a successful all-rounder who once dominated the IPL. He played for Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals, RCB and Delhi Daredevils. At the same time, he became the most expensive player in the 2021 IPL auction. He had received an amount of 16.25 crores. After that, he became the most expensive cricketer in IPL in two years.

Morris, who is currently commentating in the IPL, was asked about what he got, he said,

“You are looked upon as a matchwinner after a large sum of money. People are watching you. You are definitely under the pressure of that money. Sometimes people wait for you to fail and they write about you. I always enjoyed this pressure. The pressure is what makes you perform well.”

After Morris was signed by Rajasthan Royals in 2021 with a bid of over 16 crores, his performance has not been up to par. He took 15 wickets at an average of 25.60 in 11 matches this season. Also while batting, 67 runs came out of his bat. Morris has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket after this season.
