Delhi: Former England veteran fast bowler James Anderson believes that after the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from Test cricket, the new generation of Indian batsmen has so much aggression and fearlessness that they can fill the ‘big place’ of these veterans.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have said goodbye to Test cricket. He retired from T20 cricket last year and now he will be seen playing for India only in ODIs.
Kohli scored 9230 runs in 123 matches in Test cricket with 30 centuries. During this time his average was 46.85. At the same time, Rohit Sharma scored 4301 runs in 67 Tests, including 12 centuries and 18 half -centuries and his average was 40.57.
Talking on ‘Talksport’, James Anderson said, “Virat Kohli is a great player, one of the best batsmen of Test cricket so far. The retirement of these two players will not only get a new captain, but he will play without his most experienced players.”
He said, “Now there will be a new captain, because Sharma has retired. Very big places are vacant, but the Indian team has a lot of talent.”
Anderson praised the aggressive thinking of India’s young batsmen and said, “You just watch IPL. Now India is bringing players from IPL in Test cricket, who plays very aggressive, fearless and fearless.”
The five-match Test series between India and England will start from June 20, which will also begin the start of the 2025-2027 World Test Championship cycle.
Significantly, James Anderson has taken 704 wickets in 188 Tests and 269 wickets in 194 ODIs. He is counted among the greatest bowlers in the world.
