England fast bowler Tymal Mills has showered praise on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, praising the two Indian batting legends as among the best the game has ever produced. Mills made the statements during an interview on his two spells in the Indian Premier League.
Tymal Mills played five IPL matches for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2017, taking five wickets at an average of 30.60 and an economy rate of 8.57. He returned to the IPL in 2022 with the Mumbai Indians, where he played five matches and took six wickets at an average of 31.66, but his economy rate increased to 11.17. The two spells provided Mills with a close-up look of both Kohli and Rohit in their native environments, which he considered as crucial to his development as a bowler.
Tymal Mills, what did you say about Jasprit Bumrah?
Tymal Mills also singled out Jasprit Bumrah as the best bowler in all formats of the game. Having shared a dressing room with Bumrah during his 2022 season with the Mumbai Indians, Mills got a firsthand look at how the India pacer prepares and plays at the highest level, and he came away with a firm opinion on where Bumrah ranks among the world’s finest.
Is Tymal Mills looking to return to the IPL?
Mills is presently playing with Glasgow Cosmics in the European T20 Premier League, and he has voiced a strong desire to return to the IPL if the opportunity come. He cited his pace and fitness this year as reasons for hope, as well as a stint in the SA20, when he felt his bowling was in good shape. Despite his advanced age, his words indicate that he remains committed to competing at the highest level of franchise cricket.
