In an interview, Anderson had to pick the best players according to him from different countries. For Australia, he decided to go with Shane Warne, as he picked Joe Root for England. Later when he had to pick a player from the Indian team, he decided to go with Virat Kohli without any second thought.

Wrong Reasons

Virat Kohli is the favourite of James Anderson for the wrong reasons only. He was the one who found Kohli's weakness on the 5th stump line.

2014 Series

The India tour of England 2014 was a tough one for Virat Kohli. He got dismissed by James Anderson four times in that series only, which made him his favourite.

Potential Jobs
