"Maybe Last Time": India Great Gives His Verdict On Virat Kohli vs James Anderson Contest In Edgbaston

The Virat Kohli vs James Anderson contest is one such sub-plot. Kohli has faced 681 balls against Anderson and has scored 297 runs in Tests against the fast bowler, who has dismissed him seven times.
