James Anderson Talks About Kohli Missing Tests Against ENG

It’s now known that Kohli opted out of the series due to the birth of his son, Akaay. While the former Indian skipper celebrates this momentous occasion, team India revels in their unassailable 3-1 lead in the series.

Following a setback in the 1st Test in Hyderabad, the home side roared back with consecutive victories in Vizag, Rajkot, and Ranchi. Despite Kohli’s absence, the Indian team has witnessed several players stepping up, with two double-centuries already scored in the series, matching the record for the most runs by an Indian in a Test series against England with a match remaining.

Nevertheless, India will always feel Kohli’s absence, despite their impressive performances in the last three Tests.

Kohli Missing 5th Test Match Against England

Reflecting on his subpar performance in the series against India, James Anderson expressed his disappointment at not having the opportunity to bowl against Kohli in this series during a recent interview with Jio Cinema.

He continued –

In Test cricket, Virat Kohli and James Anderson have engaged in several captivating battles. While Anderson troubled Kohli during India’s 2014 tour to England, Kohli has largely dominated their rivalry since then.

In the ongoing five-match series against England, India dominated the 3rd Test, securing a convincing 434-run victory over the Three Lions. Jadeja played a pivotal role, scoring a century in India’s first innings and taking a five-wicket haul in the final innings.

After receiving the Player of the Match award, which could have also gone to Yashasvi Jaiswal for his double-ton in India’s second innings, the Chennai Super Kings star expressed his gratitude.

Before the February 15th match, Jadeja’s father had accused his daughter-in-law of separating him from his son. Currently residing with Jadeja’s sister, who was previously involved in the cricketer’s business ventures, Jadeja’s father mentioned that the family dynamics changed after the passing of the cricketer’s mother. According to him, a rift emerged two years after Jadeja’s marriage.

Jadeja’s father, relying on his wife’s monthly pension, claimed that his son and daughter-in-law had severed ties with him. In response, Ravindra Jadeja refuted these claims, emphasizing that there are two sides to the story, but he won’t tarnish his father’s name.

It’s important to note that Rivaba Jadeja is a sitting MLA for the BJP in Gujarat, and there are rumors suggesting a conspiracy to tarnish her reputation.
