The middle order that we have is extremely versatile,&quot; said Morgan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;When Dinesh plays like that or Andre (Russell) plays the way he can play, it&#39;s obviously a very destructive batting unit that has potential to win you matches.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rajasthan Royals take on Punjab Kings in Mumbai on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-livescore\/scorecard\/13071973051\/indian-premier-league-t20-1\">Scorecard - Kolkata Knight Riders v Sunrisers Hyderabad<\/a><\/p>\r\n",
