Gambhir revealed that facing Morkel was so challenging that he tried to bring him to KKR after playing against Morkel when the latter was with Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals).

“That’s why I bought him, honestly that’s why we included him in KKR as well. I thought he was the toughest bowler I have faced. Get him in your team. When he was playing for Delhi, every time I faced him, I would come back and say I wish we had Morne Morkel.”
