Hobart Hurricanes spinner and the second Indian-born cricketer in the Big Bash League (BBL) Nikhil Chaudhary expressed his admiration for Virat Kohli’s aggressive style. Chaudhary, with aspirations to establish himself in Australia, aims for a robust BBL career that extends beyond his current one-year contract.
In a post-match interview after the clash against Melbourne Renegades in the BBL, Chaudhary shared his appreciation for Kohli, stating, “I am a big fan of his (Kohli’s) aggression and obviously his skills. I have been totally following him for the last 10 years. And he has been growing and growing.”
Eager to become a proven finisher in the Big Bash League, Chaudhary actively seizes the opportunity to learn from his Hurricanes teammate and Mumbai Indians player, Tim David. The spinner highlighted the positive interactions with David, mentioning how the Australian star reached out shortly after Chaudhary joined the team.
“I’ve been talking to him (Tim David) for the last couple of months now, when I signed the contract, he messaged me straight away and he was like, ‘let’s do this boy’. It’s pretty great learning from him,” remarked the 27-year-old cricketer.
Recognizing Tim David as one of the best finishers and hitters globally, Chaudhary emphasized the value of learning from the Australian’s extensive experience, particularly during his tenure with the Mumbai Indians.
Currently, Hobart Hurricanes, led by Nikhil Chaudhary, has experienced a mixed start to the BBL 13 season, securing three wins and enduring three losses. The team recently faced the Brisbane Heat at the Gabba on Sunday.
