Albie Morkel wasn’t one of those who boasted a phenomenal record, but he made his impact felt for the Chennai Super Kings in all the seasons. He played for the yellow army for five seasons and became one of their trusted all-rounders in their ranks. The 38-year old featured in five out of six IPL finals that Chennai made it to. 

Post his tenure with CSK; the South African couldn’t find much success with Bangalore and Pune in the subsequent seasons. He last played in 2016 for Rising Pune Supergiants. The veteran is currently the assistant coach of the Namibia Cricket team.

Often used by MS Dhoni as an opening bowler, Morkel took 74 wickets in 78 games for Chennai. With the willow in hand, the retired all-rounder had an astounding strike rate of 141. At number seven, he can be relied upon to carry on the task of power-hitting.
