An Irish-English leader Morgan

Eoin Morgan is without a doubt one of the best-limited overs batsman to have represented England. He is taking the new English team to a new height in the shorter format of the game.

It was the time when England needed a massive change after the World Cup disaster and Morgan was the answer to all the questions. He led the team from the front, defeated the World Cup's runner-up, New Zealand and answered the critics.

Morgan’s fans love him for his brand of elegant cricket he plays all around. Even in a situation when runs are needed at a quick pace, he'll continue playing his graceful and stylish batting strokes and still manage to score runs fast.

The cricketer took some time out to talk with his fans while indulging in a Q&A session through his official Facebook account on his birthday yesterday. During his interaction with the fans, England’s ODI skipper was more than up for some playful banter as well.

When Morgan said fire, one fan quickly posted: "Who is the toughest bowler you have faced in your career?" He reverted in no time by taking his fellow teammate's name.

Then came in the quizzy one, Morgan was asked which cricketer from the past he would like have in his team? He said:

Moving on to some questions about him and his England team, people asked about his best friend and the most stylish player inside England's dressing room? Morgan said he is closest to the tall and lanky fast bowler, Steven Finn and the most stylish player is...

The left-handed batsman is currently playing in the 5-match one-day international series against Australia in England in which the visitors are leading by 2-1.

Morgan has played 149 ODIs for England till date, scoring 4445 runs with an average of 37.35 and his personal best is 124 runs not out. He originally represented his native Ireland at international level before switching to play for England.

The Ireland-born English player was the first and is one of the only two players in history to score an ODI hundred for two nations. He has been labelled as a 'finisher' and he is also noted as being a skilful player of the reverse sweep shot.

The one answer which really made everyone laugh, especially all the Indians was when Morgan answered who his favourite Bollywood ‘actress’ was:

Yes, he took Shah Rukh Khan’s name when asked about his favourite Bollywood actress. Hahaha!

The India-connect continued with fans asking him questions like who is your favourite Indian cricketer and what will you prefer if given a choice between Indian curry and English Breakfast?

Morgan, who had a pretty decent Indian Premier League season didn’t shy away from answering that he would prefer English breakfast over Indian curry. When asked about his favourite Indian stadium, he said Kolkata’s Eden Gardens.

He later revealed that his favourite Pakistani cricketer is the player who is known as the ‘King of Swing’ Wasim Akram.

Morgan’s all-time favourite came out to be Trinidad-born, the West Indian great, Brian Lara.
