I guess there is that extra something with him because he is such a good player and their captain as well. You see how much it means to him when his team takes a wicket so I want to show him what it means to us to get him out,” explained Anderson.
Anderson revealed their team’s strategy according to which he was asked to bowl in a partnership with other bowlers in the side with a plan against Virat Kohli. As per him, he wanted to get Kohli’s as early as possible and he didn’t want him to get off to a good one with the bat in the match

Joe Root was asking me to try and make him play a bit more. I was thinking, ‘I don’t want him to get off to a flyer.'”
