India tour of England: Virat Kohli will always be in doubt facing James Anderson, says Irfan Pathan

Former India pacer Irfan Pathan believes Virat Kohli will still be in doubt facing veteran English bowler James Anderson during the upcoming Test series.

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes that India captain Virat Kohli would never be worried about facing someone like Mitchell Johnson, who has raw pace but he would be on his toes against James Anderson because the veteran English pacer is more likely to swing the ball. When India toured England in 2014, Anderson was Kohli's nemesis with the right-arm pacer dismissing the India skipper on four occasions. Kohli could score just 134 runs in his 10 innings. But Kohli came back to England an altogether different batsman in 2018 as he finished the Test series as the top run-scorer with an impressive 593-run tally with two centuries and three fifties to his name. Pathan stated that no batsman likes to be up against the moving ball as it tests the technique of even the best in the business.
