There has been a lot of talk on the future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli since One Day World Cup 2023. Especially there is a lot of talk about the T20 career of both of them. England's Test team head coach Brendon McCullum has now given a big statement regarding Kohli and Rohit. He has praised Rohit's captaincy (McCullum on Rohit and Virat). Also his decisions have been appreciated. Regarding Virat Kohli, McCullum said that he was seen as a future superstar and he has lived up to it.
According to the report published in news agency ANI, McCullum said that Rohit is ready to take risks. This is very good for a team like India, because they have a lot of talent. McCullum said,
“I like Rohit's captaincy. He is a bold captain. He takes risks and takes the match forward. When you add the talent pool of the Indian team to this type of strategy, a lot can be achieved. Rohit has been a leader not only for the Indian team but also for Mumbai Indians.
McCullum said about Virat Kohli,
“I know Virat Kohli since RCB days. Have played a lot of cricket against them also. He was called the superstar of the future and he has lived up to it. He has fulfilled the dreams of crores of people and performed on big stages. He deserves every praise he is getting.”
What did you say about the India tour?
The England team will come to India next year to play a five-Test series against India. McCullum is very excited about this. He said that this will be a challenge for his team. McCullum said,
“We are ready for the challenge of Rohit and Virat. The tour of India is going to be full of challenges for us. But we are ready for such a challenge. “Playing the best team in our conditions shows where we stand.”
Not sure on baseball!
McCullum was also asked about England's Bazball brand of cricket, and was also asked whether he would play this type of cricket in India too? Responding to this, McCullum said that one should not think too much on this because the team is playing like this because they love cricket. McCullum said that I do not know whether an aggressive game like baseball is sustainable or not. We are focusing on playing good cricket.
What is baseball?
We have two teammates. Shweta and Abhishek. While writing this news he asked us what is baseball? So know this also. Bazball is used to play attacking cricket in test cricket. That is, without worrying about the wicket, the batsman scored runs in a stormy manner. And the England team started this. When? Ever since former New Zealand cricketer Brendon McCullum took over as the head coach of the English team. McCullum's nickname was 'Badge'. And his playing style was quite aggressive. This is where the word Bazball originated. Hopefully Shweta and Abhishek will now not ask what is 'badge'?
