When Virat Kohli was asked about his plan to tackle England swing great Jimmy Anderson on the eve of the first Test at Trent Bridge, the Indian skipper replied with a straight face: “I’ll just bat.”

Kohli versus Anderson have had some historic battles ever since the England pacer first dismissed the Indian batsman during the 2012 Test at Eden Gardens for six. During the 2014 tour to England, Anderson was Kohli’s nemesis, dismissing him four times during the five-Test series.
