The records that are mentioned above are just numbers. The year 2014 will change his fortunes. He began the year on a scintillating note by smashing a world record ODI Hundred against West Indies by reaching the three figures off just 36 balls. Since then, there was no turning back for him. In the subsequent ODI series against India, he dispatched both the pacers and spinners with ease. He has the ability to set the stage on fire right from the word go. Apart from his batting, he is also a decent bowler who has the knack of picking up crucial wickets with the ball.
As far as the 2014 IPL auctions are concerned, Anderson is considered as the hot property among the franchises. He is expected to fetch a bid of over 1 Million INR in the upcoming auctions. All the eight IPL franchises will love having him in the side but Kolkata Knight Riders will fancy themselves to sign the upcoming star.
