English bowler Ollie Robinson has said Virat Kohli has a big ego heating up the atmosphere days ahead of the mega India-England Test series.
Kohli had reserved some words for Robinson when the latter walked out to bat during India-England Lords Test match in 2021.
Robinson, who had dismissed Kohli thrice during that series, has now come up with a new statement which might be just a hint to the upcoming fierce contest between the two on field.
The English cricketer said as quoted by Hindustan Times, You always want to play against the best players, dont you? And you always want to get the best players out. Kohli is one of those.
Hes got a big ego and I think playing on that, especially in India, where he is going to want to dominate and score runs, playing on the fact weve had battles in the past, is exciting.
Apart from Kohli, who was in form in Indias last Test series against South Africa, Robinson talked about learning from pace bowlers Mohammad Shami and Ishant Sharma.
Ive actually been practising Mohammed Shamis dead-straight seam, Robinson said and added, Hes one of the best bowlers for India. I was looking at Ishant (Sharma) as well – he played at Sussex for a bit and hes done really well in India for quite a while. Hes tall, similar to me.
The five-match Test series between India and England will begin on January 25.
