Anderson told GeoCinema, ‘There are no better bowlers than Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj. He is a world class bowler. You also have Ishant Sharma there and it is a really strong bowling attack. For me, Zaheer Khan was someone I looked up to and learned a lot from. How he used the reverse swing, how he covered the ball when he ran in to bowl, that’s something I tried to develop while playing against him here many times. ,

Anderson also admitted that he was surprised by Jasprit Bumrah’s magical spell in Visakhapatnam, which included a reverse-swinging masterclass in taking six wickets in England’s first innings.

“With someone of his quality you expect that standard from him. You know reverse swing can play a big role in India and he is a great exponent of it. “He has good speed and is very accurate and consistent.”

“That yorker we saw off Ollie Pope. It is no coincidence that he has reached number one in the world. He is a world-class bowler and from our point of view we were not surprised that he performed like that.

At the age of 41, Anderson is England’s leading wicket-taker in Tests with 698 wickets, a longevity that is very rare to see at international level. ”Yeah, I think you look at things like that, but honestly, I just go with what I feel and my body. I don’t feel like I’m 41 years and 200 days old. You know, I still feel young.”
