Anderson now level with Anil Kumble on 619 Test wicketsOpening bowler praises Ollie Robinson and Jonny BairstowWith 619 wickets in his Test career, James Anderson is never going to be short of a happy memory – or 10 – but even the traditionally dour leader of England’s attack was prepared to admit that getting India’s captain, Virat Kohli, out first ball in his first innings of this Test series was a bit special.
In the leadup to this match, England’s talisman bowler has sought to play down his seven-year running battle with India’s leading batter, saying he does not mind who gets Kohli out as long as someone does.
