England vs India 2018: Report Card of key players for the Test series

#2 James Anderson

James Anderson after getting his 564th wicket

If you were a true cricket fan, you would have enjoyed James Anderson as much as you enjoyed Kohli. Everyone around the world witnessed the magician at his absolute best.

It was as if Anderson was justifying Cutter from The Prestige, where he says every magic trick has three parts, first is called "The Pledge", where the magician shows you something ordinary (Holding the ball with seam position towards the first slip), second part is "The Turn", where he does something extraordinary (Pushing the ball inwards with seam for an outswinger) and the third part is called "The Prestige", the hardest of them all (Swinging the ball late from leg stump to knock off Murali Vijay's off stump in Lord's Test).

With 24 wickets at an average of 18.10, we witnessed a magician at his best.

Rating - 9.5/10
