XtraTime Web Desk: Their on-field rivalry is a treat to watch for the fans all over the world. Indian captain Virat Kohli and England’s premier pacer James Anderson shared a fierce competitiveness against each other but off it they have mutual admiration for each other. The Indian captain was one of the first cricketers to congratulate the England bowler who achieved the milestone of picking 600 test wickets, becoming the first seamer to do so.
Kohli did not hesitate to accept that the veteran English seamer is one of the best he has faced so far. Kohli tweeted, “Congratulations @jimmy9 for thus outstanding achievement of 600 wickets. Definitely one of the best bowlers I’ve faced.”
Anderson had to literally wait for 2 days because of rain get into the history book Test cricket. When the play started for the first time on Day 5, the only wish every cricket fan had was to see James Anderson take that red cherry in his hand and show it towards the camera in the absence of crowd due to the coronavirus pandemic. The moment did arrive on the fifth and final day of the third and final test match against Pakistan at the Ageas Bowl when he had Pakistan captain Azhar Ali caught by Joe Root in the slips.
