Cricket | August 25, 2021 16:53 ISTThe verbal warfare between Kohli and Anderson was talking point of the previous Test at Lord's too.
The verbal warfare between Kohli and Anderson was talking point of the previous Test at Lord's too.
Overall, it is Anderson's 165th Test appearance, surpassing West Indies's S Chanderpaul to take the fifth spot in the all-time list which features Sachin atop with 200 Test appearances.
While India registered a memorable 151-run win at the home of cricket to go 1-0 up in the five-Test series, players of both teams were seen exchanging verbal volleys.
India pulled off a 151-run sensational win amid heated exchanges between Indian and English players at Lord's.
England had India on the ropes at the end of the fourth day but the visitors ran riot with an 89-run unbeaten ninth-wicket partnership between Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, who scored a half-century.
Bumrah bowled a 10-ball over mostly comprising bouncers and one of them hit Anderson on the helmet.
Barmy Army, a club of England cricket supporters who follow the team everywhere around the world, has released a video.
Sridhar revealed that Anderson was angry because Bumrah was bowling at him with a relatively quicker speed than the others.
"Bumrah is a competitive fast bowler but wouldn't want to intentionally hurt anyone," said Sridhar during a chat on R Ashwin's Youtube channel.
India cricket team skipper Virat Kohli had a heated exchange with English pacer James Anderson in the first session of play on Day Four of the second Test at Lord's.
With his fourth five-for against India at the Lord's, the 39-year-old Anderson became the oldest pacer to achieve the feat in Tests since 1951.
Bairstow said he doesn't have much knowledge about the extent of injuries suffered by Broad and Anderson, rendering one unavailable and the other doubtful for the second Test against India.
Anderson, who became Test cricket's third highest wicket-taker during the first Test in Nottingham, missed the training session on Wednesday morning due to thigh strain.
Anderson now only stands behind two spin wizards - Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne of Australia.
The 39-year-old drew the first blood, getting Kohli with a beauty to trigger a collapse as India slumped to 112/4 from being 97 for no loss in less than six overs.
The in-from KL Rahul (57 batting off 151 balls) is still standing tall amid ruins alongside Rishabh Pant.
Ahead of the Test, Anderson had said that is not bothered about taking Kohli's wicket as long as some England bowler dismisses him.
A run of five Tests in six weeks against India may not be ideal for 39-year-old Anderson, a veteran of 162 Tests. But he is geared up.
Recently, the USA's multiple Olympic gold medallist Biles had pulled out of the team and all-round individual events at the Tokyo Olympics, citing mental health concerns.
Anderson, who has played 162 Tests since his debut in 2003, said that the IPL generation of batters have a fearless approach and cited Rishabh Pant as an example.
