Zaheer Khan was someone I used to watch a lot to try and learn from: James Anderson

New Delhi, Feb 28: England’s veteran fast-bowler James Anderson revealed that former India left-arm seamer Zaheer Khan was someone he used to watch a lot and tried learning from to understand about the deliveries which can work well in conditions here during the Test matches.

“There are not many better bowlers than Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and Mohammed Siraj. They’re world-class bowlers. You put Ishant Sharma in there as well, and that’s a really strong bowling attack. For me, Zaheer Khan was someone I used to watch a lot to try and learn from. How he used the reverse swing, how he covered the ball when he ran into bowl, that’s something I tried to sort of develop on the back of playing against him quite a few times here,” said Anderson to JioCinema.

Anderson also admitted to being left in awe of Jasprit Bumrah’s magical spell at Visakhapatnam, which included a reverse-swinging masterclass of taking a six-fer in England’s first innings.
