Former New Zealand cricketer, Danny Morrison is one of the most popular cricket pundits around the world. He has often been seen commentating in various T20 competitions around the world. Morrison has a dedicated fan following in many leagues like the India Premier League (IPL), Pakistan Super League (PSL), and the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
While commentating in the IPL, he is affectionately referred to as Dr. Danny by co-commentators and players. Meanwhile in a recent conversation with Sportskeeda, when asked about an overrated player from the current generation, Danny went on to pick Kieron Pollard.

Pollard’s lackluster and inconsistent batting performance in the T20 World Cup 2021 might’ve tempted Danny Morrison for such comments. However, it should be noted that Pollard was selected as the fourth retention by IPL’s most successful franchise, Mumbai Indians ahead of the mega-auctions.

Danny also revealed that his favorite team in the IPL is Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). He said that he likes everything about the Bangalore-based franchise. Danny also called the franchise ‘unlucky’ for not winning any IPL trophy so far despite having great players like Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, and AB De Villiers.
On the other hand, when Danny was asked to choose a franchise for which he would like to play, he picked MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Danny Morrison said that he would love to play in the yellow jersey.
