“I think I'd go for Pat Cummins. I think Pat Cummins is one of the premier fast bowlers in the world at the moment, in all formats of the game. I'd love to see him operate alongside Jofra Archer for England. That would be a pretty intimidating bowling line-up. So, I'm going say Pat Cummins for that one,” the right-hand explosive batsman said.
The Aussie pacer Pat Cummins is currently with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for IPL 2021.
The Englishman was then asked about his current favorite cricketer to which he answered with South African wicket-keeper batsman Quinton De Kock.
“My current favorite player, I'd probably say is Quinton De Kock. He is a South African wicket keeping-batsman, obviously for me someone I look to the way he plays. I love the free spirit he plays with. I think left-handers always look better than right-handers as well,” the 30-year-old said.
The Royals begin the IPL 2021 campaign against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on 12 April at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.
