When England won the 2019 World Cup it completed a fairytale co-authored by an Irishman. Yes, it was Eoin Morgan who fulfilled the dreams of millions of English cricket fans by leading the team to its pinnacle in the limited-overs format. The cricketing fraternity will be forever indebted to Morgan for introducing a brand of cricket that has entertained fans all over the world.

Also, his batting has inspired the upcoming generation of cricketers. The southpaw is a tailor-made material for white-ball cricket and his striking abilities can stun the best of the bowling attacks. Seeing his qualities the Bangalore franchise bagged him for the 2010 IPL season. Unfortunately, he could only muster 35 runs in 6 innings. Immediately he found himself in the auction pool and joined the Kolkata bandwagon.

He spent 3 seasons in the KKR camp but his average performances resulted in a contract termination before the 2014 IPL. Afterwards, the left-hander has been part of a couple of more teams. Still, he has been unable to score runs with the same freedom as he is used to for the England team which has been a major letdown. His strike rate of 120 proves that “Morgan -the finisher” has never taken the center stage in the league.
