England pacer Tymal Mills has showered praise on Indian veteran batting duo Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, calling them the best white-ball cricketers. Notably, Mills is currently plying his trade for Glasgow Cosmic in the ETPL 2026 season.
Speaking in an exclusive interaction with Crex, Mills recalled gaining a lot of experience from the talismanic batting duo during his days in the IPL. Notably, Mills played for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2017 and Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2022.
“Two of the best players to have ever played the game, particularly in white-ball cricket in India. They are masters playing in those conditions. It was a great experience to learn and to be around those guys. It came at two very different points in my career, RCB back in 2017 and then MI in 2022,” Tymal Mills said on CREX.
Further, Mills picked Jasprit Bumrah as the best bowler across formats at the moment and praised him for his skill set and for being able to deliver in all three formats of the game. In 52 Tests, Bumrah has 234 wickets. He has 151 wickets in 91 ODIs, and in 97 T20Is, he has 123 wickets.
“I think Bumrah stands out across formats. I was lucky enough to spend that season with him at Mumbai and get up close and see how he goes about it. He’s got such a high skill level and can bowl as quick as anybody on his day as well. The great thing is that he can do it across formats. For me, Bumrah is probably the best in the world,” he added.
“Yeah, I’d love to (return to IPL). I want to play the best cricket that I can for as long as I can. My pace has been good this year. I bowled in the SA20, and I felt really good there. I’m not looking too far ahead. I just want to stay fit and play as much high-level cricket as I can, and if that brings me back to the IPL, then amazing. I’d love to come back to India. It’s an amazing place to play cricket,” he concluded.
