Chennai Super Kings have sparked discussion among IPL fans after a number featured in the announcement of Albie Morkel’s appointment as part of the franchise’s coaching staff.
According to a report by Free Press Journal, the number 464.626 appeared in CSK’s announcement. The report linked the reference to a memorable IPL incident involving Morkel and Virat Kohli during the 2012 season.
Kohli was bowling for Royal Challengers Bangalore when Morkel launched an aggressive assault, scoring 28 runs in the over. The incident remains a memorable moment in IPL history.
The apparent reference in CSK’s announcement has prompted discussion among fans, particularly because of the long-standing rivalry between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
However, there has been no confirmed statement establishing that the number was deliberately used to mock Kohli. The connection should therefore be treated as an interpretation reported by the media rather than an officially confirmed intention.
The incident highlights how moments from the IPL’s past can resurface years later and attract renewed attention when franchises announce changes ahead of a new season.
