The second Test of the ongoing series between India and England commenced with an exhilarating beginning for both teams. Following their defeat in the initial Test, Team India aimed to deliver a better performance in the Vizag match, and they indeed showcased a performance that matched their reputation.
Nevertheless, at the conclusion of Day 1 of the fight, some individuals stepped up to praise the exceptional performance of experienced fast bowler James Anderson. The 41-year-old performed exceptionally well on the first day of the second test, concluding the day with an economy rate of 1.76. Sanjay Manjrekar, a former Indian cricketer, praised the veteran player for his enduring career and his ability to excel even on batting pitches that offer little assistance to bowlers.
“He serves as a testament to the enduring impact of the exceptional fast bowlers we have had throughout the years.” Despite being in the twilight of his career, he skillfully outperformed the Indian batsmen on a challenging pitch that offered no advantage to him, consistently beating them outside the off stump. Ultimately, the wicketkeeper caught Gill. “That occurrence is exceedingly uncommon on Indian pitches,” Sanjay Manjrekar conveyed to ESPNcricinfo. “His exceptional skill and the economy of his bowling demonstrate his accuracy.” And I appreciate the manner in which England employs him. We believe that he is currently not dedicating sufficient time to bowling, as he is not participating in enough matches.

In addition, Sanjay Manjrekar expressed his belief that every time James Anderson plays, it evokes a nostalgic feeling reminiscent of the golden era of Test cricket.
“Each instance of witnessing Anderson’s bowling evokes nostalgia for the golden era of Test cricket, when it reached its pinnacle.” “During the 1980s, the West Indies, along with Australia under Mark Taylor, Pakistan, and India, displayed exceptional quality,” he stated.
