Exciting to play with Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and Faf du Plessis: Josh Hazlewood
Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer Josh Hazlewood is excited to play alongside Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and Faf du Plessis. He expressed that it’s great to see Virat Kohli’s off-field persona and get to know the Indian cricketer. Josh Hazlewood said in the RCB Podcast,
“It’s always exciting to play with guys that I mean you played against them. Played with Maxi obviously but (not with) Virat. (Along with) Faf has ended up playing with the last few years. It’s just good to see the other side of it and realize they’re great people.”
“You’re obviously coming up just on the field against him (Virat) and you see a different side of him I guess. Away from the game around the hotel, you see such great people. I don’t think many cricketers get to this level without being good people away from the game.”
