Jofra Archer who just made his entry into England World Cup-2019 squad has set his sights on the prize scalp of Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle.
Jofra Archer was included in England’s ICC World Cup 2019 squad after having qualified playing for England on residency grounds in March. He has represented Engand in only three ODIs.
As he now gearing up for World Cup, Archer has set his sights on his target during World Cup.
“I’d quite like to get Virat Kohli out because I wasn’t able to in the IPL,” Archer told Sky Sports.
“Chris Gayle as well,” added Archer, mentioning the big-hitting West Indies batsman.
And for all his lack of international cricket experience, Archer believes the time he has spent in the IPL has been good preparation for handling pressure of a World Cup.
“I think I probably have a bigger advantage over some of the other guys in our team,” he said.
“We play (these guys) twice a (season) in the IPL, so you know their weaknesses, you know their strengths, you know if they can’t run between the wickets… it gets you an extra bit of inside information.”
He added: “To be honest, I think international cricket is probably the same intensity as the IPL. I think the only thing that changes is the amount of overs.”
