ENG vs IND: Twitterati praise dedication level of James Anderson as he bowls with bleeding knee
Veteran England pacer James Anderson has been one of the stories of this series especially his contest with the Indian skipper Virat Kohli. At 39, Anderson is still going strong and has given his side great starts with the ball throughout this series having picked up 14 wickets in the three Tests.
Now on Tuesday, Anderson impressed one and all with his level of dedication for the game and playing Test cricket for England as he bowled with a bleeding knee on the first day of the fourth Test against India at the Oval.
Anderson’s commitment won everyone’s hearts as the fans couldn’t stop praising his level of commitment and paid their respects as the blood was visible on his trouser when he was coming back to his run-up in the 42nd over of India’s batting innings.
According to a report in the Mirror, Anderson had injured his knee after he tumbled while bowling adding that he might have suffered a cut on his right knee.
As soon as the pictures surfaced on sical media, the fans remembered former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson’s magnificent innings in the 2019 IPL final for Chennai Super Kings against the Mumbai Indians where he batted with a bleeding knee during his heroic knock of 80 runs but failed to get his side through as they underwent a massive collapse.
Many fans admired Anderson for doing the same, especially being a fast bowler at the age of 39. Here are some of the reactions:
