“For me, Zaheer Khan was someone I used to watch a lot to try and learn from. How he used the reverse swing, how he covered the ball when he ran in to bowl, that’s something I tried to sort of develop on the back of playing against him quite a few times here,” Anderson told JioCinema.
Zaheer played his last Test in 2014 when Anderson was at the top of his game. Among the current lot of Indian pacers, Anderson is most impressed by Jasprit Bumrah’s ability, calling him a “great exponent” of reverse swing.
