(Watch) 41 Year Old James Anderson Takes A Stunner To Dismiss Yashasvi Jaiswal In IND vs ENG 4th Test.
In the midst of a crucial Test match between India and England, a remarkable moment unfolded that transcended the typical narrative of youth versus experience. On Day 4 of the 4th Test, James Anderson, aged 41, showcased a display of athleticism that left spectators and fellow players alike in admiration. In a match where every run and wicket holds significance, Anderson’s performance on the field underscored his enduring dedication to the game and his team.
Here is the catch of Anderson:
From the early stages of the match, Anderson exhibited that age is merely a number to him. His full-length dive to prevent a boundary in the 2nd over set the tone for his exceptional display. However, it was his remarkable diving catch to dismiss Yashasvi Jaiswal that truly highlighted his outstanding fitness and agility.
Jaiswal, nearing the milestone of 1000 runs in the WTC 2023-25 cycle, fell victim to a moment of brilliance from England’s seasoned bowler amidst the early aggression from the Indian batsmen. Despite a caution from Rohit Sharma to avoid rash shots early in the innings, Jaiswal attempted a bold hit against Root’s delivery. The result was a sliced ball to the backward point, where Anderson, with precision akin to a predator, launched into his stunning dive to secure the catch.
Before his dismissal, Jaiswal had showcased stellar form, equalling Virat Kohli’s record for the most runs in an IND vs ENG Test series, with both amassing 655 runs, a feat Kohli achieved in 2016.
