England pacer James Anderson has been in terrific form so far in the three Tests of the ongoing series having picked up 17 wickets at 14.88 and constantly troubling the Indian batsmen with pace and movement. However, Australian legend Shane Warne, who was present at Ageas Bowl, in Southampton – venue for the fourth Test between India and England, for a function on Wednesday said that the only way to peg back Anderson was to disrupt his line early and he counted on KL Rahul to do that.
“I would love to see Rahul go after Jimmy Anderson,” Warne was quoted in the Times of India. “If I was part of the Indian management, I would like to tell Rahul to try and take Jimmy down.
“Jimmy is fantastic in these conditions and if he has his tail up, it’s difficult to deal with him. The better the bowler, the more aggressive you have to be.”
“I haven’t seen an Indian team that has outfielded opposition teams and bowled faster,” said Warne. “I love the talent they have, it’s exciting and they can win in any conditions. In fact, if you ask me, I would make the tough decision to play two spinners, Jadeja and Ashwin here.”
