Harry Brook Faces Backlash Over Smog Comment

England batter Harry Brook has been at the center of attention after his comment on the smog affecting his team's visibility during the first T20I against India in Kolkata. The remark drew sharp criticism from Ravi Shastri and Harsha Bhogle, who trolled Brook for his statement.

Brook had stated that the poor visibility due to smog prevented him and his teammates from picking the ball from Indian spinners, leading to their dismissals. However, his comment was not well-received by Shastri and Bhogle, who took a dig at Brook during the second game of the five-T20I series in Chennai. Shastri said, "I hope he sees the ball here, visibility is much better in Chennai," while Bhogle added, "I hope Phil Salt saw the ball on both occasions" after Salt was dismissed by Arshdeep Singh for the second time.

Former England player Nick Knight was left speechless by their comments, stating that he knew this would happen and would hear more about it till the third game. The England team is looking to adopt an aggressive style and decode India's spin puzzle, while India aims to stick to precision bowling and flair batting. The key players to watch out for are Arshdeep Singh from India and Ben Duckett from England.

As the series progresses, it will be interesting to see how the teams adapt to the conditions and each other's strategies. With the toss strategy favoring the team that wins the toss and bats, and the dew expected to impact the latter half of play, the games are expected to be intense and exciting. Harry Brook and his teammates will have to be at their best to overcome the Indian spinners and level the series.
