England pacer James Anderson had to face the ire of a lot of fans on Twitter, after he made baseless remark over the form of Indian skipper Virat Kohli. Anderson, who has been wicketless since the second test, vented out the frustration of his poor performance, as he said that home conditions were apparently hiding Kohli’s “flaws”.
Anderson’s remarks come just after a long day’s play, where Kohli batted out of his skin to register his highest individual test score of 235. While former English legends heaped praises on Kohli for his mind-blowing knock, Anderson seemed to seek solace in petty excuses.
Fans on Twitter slammed the Lancashire pacer for his immature remarks, and below are some of the tweets.
