Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma big losses, but India has enough depth: Brydon Carse
Brydon Carse said that while Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be big losses for India during the England tour, the visitors have enough depth in their batting to put up a strong challenge. Kohli and Rohit announced their retirements from Test cricket in May ahead of the squad announcement for the England Test series. The duo's experience will certainly be a miss for a young Indian side, but Carse feels the visitors will be up for the challenge. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, June 18, the pacer said that there are quality players who are coming through and India will field a strong lineup for the game. Carse said that England will be ready for whatever challenge the visitors would throw at them during the first Test, which will start on June 20. advertisement"Look, obviously, you know, Virat and Sharma are massive losses for their batting line-up. They've been experienced players over a number of years and, you know, world-class batters."But the depth that Indian cricket have and the quality and players coming through, you know, they will, without a doubt, put up a very strong 11 and we're ready for whatever challenge that brings," Carse said on Wednesday as quoted by ready to take advantage of India's inexperienced lineup Carse went on to say that England will be aiming to pounce on any inexperience the young Indian batting lineup could show, depending on the nature of the pitches on offer. "Yeah, look, I mean, they're quality players. Again, you know, depending on what the surface plays like. I think any batter that you're bowling at, you know, with a new ball or their first 20 balls is susceptible to getting out."So, whenever we have an opportunity at any of their top-order batters, we'll have plans and processes in place, to obviously knock them over as quick as we can," Carse will be making his first Test appearance on English soil as he is part of the playing XI for the first Test at Headingley.

Patrick Mahomes' cold reaction to praise from Marquise Brown steals spotlight from Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's surprise baby tease (Image via Getty) The Kansas City Chiefs held their Media Day on June 18, 2025. Fans and reporters were ready to view their favorite stars. The room was full of cameras, reporters and excited players. But something different happened — something that wasn't wordy and had limited speech. Even Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback for the Kansas Coty Chiefs, didn't have to say much. A short moment during the event got everyone talking. It was one of those scenes where people just knew who the leader was, without him needing to prove anything. Patrick Mahomes quietly shows his place at the top during Kansas City Chiefs media day The Media Day took place in Kansas City at the Kansas City Chiefs' practice facility. Reporters asked many questions to players ahead of the 2025 NFL season. But one moment stood out. When new wide receiver Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown was asked who he thinks is the best quarterback right now, his answer was fast. 'Patrick Mahomes,' he said, without a second thought. What made it even more special was Patrick Mahomes' reaction. He didn't turn or speak. He just smiled. That smile said everything. Marquise Hollywood Brown has played with other top names like Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch xu hướng AUD/USD? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo So for him to call Patrick Mahomes the best made the room silent for a second. The moment quickly spread on social media. Fans called it 'cold' and 'boss-like.' It wasn't show-off behavior. It felt natural, like Patrick Mahomes is already used to this kind of respect. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift also grab attention with future hints While Mahomes was quietly showing why he's the leader, his teammate Travis Kelce made news in another way. At the same event somewhat playfully, Travis Kelce teased that he and pop singer Taylor Swift may be "thinking about kids" as soon as their thoughts appear. After a person made an offhand comment about him being a dad, Travis Kelce smiled and replied, "We will see what happens." This was just a day after his brother, Jason Kelce, made a joking comment in a podcast, "God help those children.'Still, Travis Krlce seemed unfazed. His calm answer, like Patrick Mahomes' smile, said more than a long speech ever could. Both stars reminded everyone that actions — and reactions — speak loudest.
