Chris Morris

Delhi Capitals' (DC) all-rounder Chris Morris is expected to take on his Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) counterpart Andre Russell in their IPL game at the Feroz Shah Kotla today and the South African said that he is up for the challenge.

"He [Russell] is an absolute genius. It will be a case of if he misses, I hit. I won't give away too many secrets. I might look like a duck, but my brain is working overtime and I will look to trust my training. We have got similar roles. He bats a little higher. Our job is to hit sixes and pick up wickets. But maybe he has a little more responsibility as a batsman than me," Morris said.
