Former Australia wicketkeeper-batter Brad Haddin has expressed strong support for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, calling them “proud men” who are ready to deliver a powerful performance in the upcoming Test series against England. Meanwhile, Haddin, who is also the assistant coach of Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2025, praised the franchise’s strong start to the season under Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy.
‘No Way You Look Past Rohit and Kohli’ – Haddin
Speaking in an interview with The Hindustan Times, Haddin said he believes the senior Indian duo of Rohit and Kohli will prove their mettle in the challenging English conditions.
“There’s no way you look past Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. They’re proud men. These are the type of series they love. I’m expecting them to lead by example and set the tone,” Haddin said.
With India preparing for the high-profile England Test series, Haddin’s comments echo the confidence many have in the experienced batting stalwarts to bounce back and dominate.
Punjab Kings’ Promising Start in IPL 2025
In IPL 2025, Punjab Kings have won 2 out of their first 3 matches, showing signs of a strong campaign ahead. Their thumping 50-run victory over Rajasthan Royals in Mullanpur was a major highlight, showcasing both aggression and tactical brilliance.
Under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer and guidance from head coach Ricky Ponting, PBKS looks like a rejuvenated unit. Haddin credited this new energy and clear vision as the foundation for success this season.
“We had a really clear strategy at the auction. The squad is a great mix of youth and experience, and we’ve built an environment where players are encouraged to express themselves,” he added.
