Virat Kohli talked about flaws in England’s Test batting line-up a day after pacer James Anderson questioned the India captain’s batting technique. James Anderson refused to accept the flaws and made some unflattering comments about Virat Kohli batting and Indian pitches.

Anderson had recently said Kohli’s technical deficiencies were not at display during the ongoing Test series because the pitches in India are devoid of bounce. Here is one more points for Kohli, that too from an expected team. Yes, the former skipper of Pakistan Inzamam-ul-Haq gave a befitting reply to James Anderson over comments on Virat Kohli.

Pakistan chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq has criticized James Anderson for his uncharitable comments about Virat Kohli’s technique, saying that the England pacer should first take wickets in India before questioning the Indian skipper’s capabilities.

“It is surprising to me that Anderson should question Kohli’s runs and ability because I haven’t seen him taking too many wickets in India,” Inzamam said.

“Does Anderson mean to say that if you get runs in England, you get some certificate that makes you a quality batsman. Don’t the English and Australian players struggle when they play in the sub-continent? Does that mean they are bad players or weak teams? To me it does not matter where you get runs because in Test matches runs are runs,” the former Pakistan skipper added.

Inzamam Praised Virat Kohli:

“I always judge a batsman by seeing how many times the runs he scores leads to his team winning matches. In my opinion, if a batsman scores 80 and it helps his team win, it matters more to me than someone scoring 150 and his team still losing. He is a quality player and when he is getting runs his team does well. That is important to judge or classify a batsman’s value. There is hunger in him for runs,” he said.

Fear Factor For Inzamam:

“Sehwag was a dangerous player because if he scored 80 odd runs, it meant his team would end up scoring 300 or more in a Test or ODI. The more time he spent time at the crease the more he dented the morale of the bowlers, which was worrying for me as captain,” said Inzamam.

When asked about Indo-Pak series the former player said: “People want to see Indo-Pak matches, but there is nothing one can do about it until things are normal at the government level. Personally, I always enjoyed the challenge of playing against India, and it made a better player. To me, an Indo-Pak series has always been even bigger than the Ashes,”
