The South African men's bowling coach has been caught in a playful moment with the Indian players, which has been revealed by one of the bowlers from the squad. Morne Morkel, who is well regarded in the cricketing world, has been seen in a humorous net session with the Indian players, with Arshdeep Singh revealing the reason for it.
It isn't surprising that Morkel would try to bond with the squad he is currently coaching, trying any means necessary to get close to them. Arshdeep revealed that Morkel had sat on his lap during one of the net sessions, trying to create a bond with the players. This comes ahead of the upcoming T20I series between South Africa and India.
"He was sitting on my lap during the net session. He is trying to create a bond with us and we also appreciate it. He is a very humble guy, you can approach him with anything, he always has an open ear for us," said Arsheep Singh in a press conference.
This moment between Arshdeep and Morkel shows the lighter side of the game, something that is often not shown on broadcasts or articles and is a nice change of pace in the usually ultra-competitive environment of professional sports. It will be interesting to see if this type of incident will help South Africa when they face India in the upcoming series.
