During the Dream11 IPL 2020 auction back in December 2019, South African all-rounder Chris Morris was roped in by the Bangalore franchise for ₹10 crore (US$1.4 million).

They shared a moment of the cricketer’s net training session along with a caption “On the comeback trail”. With the post, the Bangalore franchise hinted perhaps that Chris Morris may make his debut for the franchise through the upcoming much-awaited Southern Derby against MS Dhoni-led Chennai.
