Fans on Twitter lashed out at David Lloyd for saying “Virat is the one player who could drive India to play like England style”. They hit out at him saying that Kohli style is what England has been playing now.
“Virat is the one player who could drive India to play like England style,” says David Lloyd
England’s Bazball concept has taken the World by storm. Under the leadership of Ben Stokes and coach McCullum, they have looked at a completely different side as they have adopted a fearless approach and instead of being conservative, which they followed earlier, they are going for the kill.
They are yet to lose a series as they first whitewashed New Zealand, pounded India by 7 wickets to win the rescheduled match and then won the Test series against South Africa. And most recently they thumped Pakistan at the home with their attacking mindset.
They posted a total of 657 runs in just 100 overs. If this was not enough, they then made a bold declaration in the second innings, risking a loss. But they produced a superlative effort and bundled out Pakistan for 268 runs in the second innings and won the game by 75 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
Ever since Stokes took over the captaincy, English players looked very optimistic on the field as they have played an attacking brand of cricket and made many applaud them for their heroics. Whenever they seemed in trouble someone chipped in and bailed the side out of the trouble with the counter-attacking innings.
Following England’s huge success, many have lauded them. Former player David Lloyd too was all praise for the team and highlighted that India too can play in the same manner and Virat Kohli will be one player who can do this. Speaking to Daily Mail, he said:
“Virat Kohli is the one player who could drive India to play like England style”.

What do you mean by "could" ?
He has already done it numerous times.
Virat is the best test captain ever. https://t.co/G6rxsUTTFCAdvertisement— Devangi Joshi (@Devangi_J) December 6, 2022
Virat was doing it in 2014 when he went for the chase at Adelaide even before he was appointed as full time test captain.

Ind don't need to play like eng in each format. Ind were very successful under vk in Tests both at home and away as well.. It's Just that we need to be aggressive and beleive that we can win anywhere..

We don't need to play like England. Besides we have been playing to win test games from 2014 onwards itself and we have been more successful than England. Why the heck do we need to copy England when we have our own brand which has definitely seen more success
