      Don’t Talk About Our Captain, Mumbai, 2016

      James Anderson had dismiss Virat Kohli four times in eight innings when India toured England in 2014.

      In 2016, when had a mammoth series, scoring a century and a fifty in Visakhapatnam and another fifty in Mohali before a double-ton in Mumbai.

      With England on the brink of going 0-3 down James Anderson who had not been able to dismiss Kohli in the series, was ask whether he thought Kohli had improved since 2014.

      He was reserve in his praise saying that while Kohli was a good player home pitches hid his flaws.

      R Ashwin thought James Anderson was not being a decided to tell him so on the fifth day of the Mumbai Test, walking right up to James Anderson when he came to the crease.

      Kohli had to step in to hold his offspinner back and while he found the exchange amusing his opposite number, Cook, said it was a bit of a “sour end” to the match.

      James Anderson seem to take exception to the tactic and had words with J.Bumrah at the close of play.

      This rift continued into the next day when Anderson had words with Kohli while bowling to him, and on the last day, when England returned the favour, bowling short balls to Bumrah and Mohammed Shami.

      Bumrah was getting angry by something in the morning session, and it led to a lot of verbals during England’s innings.

      While the details of what was said to Bumrah and Shami are unknown but the stump microphone did pick up some unpleasant language from Kohli towards England’s batters on the fifth evening.

      After the game, Kohli made a point of mentioning that the verbals directed at Bumrah and Shami in the morning session gave his side extra motivation when they came out to bowl.
