England bowler James Anderson displayed some tremendous bowling skills as he dismissed India’s experienced campaigner and Test vice-captain, Ajinkya Rahane. Anderson produced a reverse swing to trap the Indian batsman.

The dismissal took place only two deliveries after he dismissed Shubman Gill with a similar reverse-swinging delivery. Though Rahane survived a leg-before appeal on the previous delivery, where umpire’s call saved his wicket. However, Rahane was trapped again with the magical spell of Anderson. Rahane picked the long line and took a big stride to play on the front foot as a result, he was dismissed for a golden duck.
