Former South Africa all-rounder Albie Morkel talked about his famous cameo against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), playing for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2012. Morkel had smashed Virat Kohli for 28 runs in an over to turn the game in CSK's favor out of nowhere.

In a 206-run chase, CSK needed 43 runs off the last two overs. That is when Kohli came to bowl and his over went like this: 4,6,4,6,2,6.

Morkel, in a video chat with Chennai Super Kings, said that those 15 minutes turned out to be one of the highlight moments of his career. He still gets tweets and messages regarding his 7-ball 28 runs knock.

CSK had won that game by scoring 15 runs in the last over after Dwayne Bravo finished the innings.

Morkel still wonders why RCB bowled Virat in the penultimate over at such a crucial situation. He wanted to take CSK as close to the target as he can and connecting a few helped.
