Kohli lauds England’s white ball style revolution
India skipper Virat Kohli believes that a change in approach to the game has helped England improve their fortunes in the shortest format of the game.
Kohli is currently leading a Royal Challengers Bangalore squad that includes England allrounders Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali, who is one of 12 English internationals playing in the IPL with Sussex based Jofra Archer not included in that number.
The India skipper feels that the explosive game England introduced to their white ball cricket after the 2015 World Cup has helped develop their T20 players.
Kohli said: “I think it is because of how they play their T20 cricket. The last couple of years, right from the T20 World Cup, they have been an explosive T20 side.
“People are sharpening their skills according to the format, and these are some of the best T20 players in the world right now. So you get picked in the IPL.”
The India skipper is a big fan of what Woakes and Moeen bring to the squad beyond their performances on the field.
He added: “They are top guys. They are really optimistic and are helpful for the RCB team culture. It is good to have good people around.”
Moeen has yet to turn out for RCB in his debut season of IPL cricket while Woakes, formerly a Kolkata Knight Rider, has played all three matches for the franchise bagging an impressive seven wickets.

About the author
Guyana Diaspora Forum
We have a large database of Guyanese worldwide. Most of our readers are in the USA, Canada, and the UK. Our Blog and Newsletter would not only carry articles and videos on Guyana, but also other articles on a wide range of subjects that may be of interest to our readers in over 200 countries, many of them non-Guyanese We hope that you like our selections.
It is estimated that over one million Guyanese, when counting their dependents, live outside of Guyana. This exceeds the population of Guyana, which is now about 750,000. Many left early in the 50’s and 60’s while others went with the next wave in the 70’s and 80’s. The latest wave left over the last 20 years. This outflow of Guyanese, therefore, covers some three generations. This outflow still continues today, where over 80 % of U.G. graduates now leave after graduating. We hope this changes, and soon.
Guyanese, like most others, try to keep their culture and pass it on to their children and grandchildren. The problem has been that many Guyanese have not looked back, or if they did it was only fleetingly. This means that the younger generations and those who left at an early age know very little about Guyana since many have not visited the country. Also, if they do get information about Guyana, it is usually negative and thus the cycle of non-interest is cultivated.
This Guyana Diaspora Online Forum , along with its monthly newsletter, aims at bringing Guyanese together to support positive news, increase travel and tourism in Guyana and, in general, foster the birth of a new Guyana, which has already begun notwithstanding the negative news that grabs the headlines. As the editor and manager of the publication, I am committed to delivering Blog entries and Newsletters that are politically balanced, and focused on the positive ideas we wish to share and foster among Guyanese.
