James Anderson says Virat Kohli is ‘lying’ when he says that his own form wouldn’t matter to him “as long as India wins”.
When asked about his own objectives at the start of his side’s tour of England, the India captain said: “It doesn’t matter whether I get runs or don’t. What I want is the team to play well and win.”
”We have had a hot few weeks, so the pitches may well be dry and suit India more than us,” he said. “That is something we will take into account when we come into that series. We will be hopeful that we have a couple of weeks of rain before the series starts and be able to grow some grass on the wickets.”
England’s leader of the attack has picked up 73 scalps at 19.1 since the India series two years ago, despite battling a persistent shoulder problem.
