Cricket fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the return of Virat Kohli to the ongoing Test series between India and England, with former England captain Nasser Hussain calling it the “only thing missing” from the thrilling encounter so far.
Anderson Dominates, Kohli’s Absence Felt
James Anderson, the veteran English pacer, has been in top form, picking up five wickets in the second Test despite missing the first. However, the series has lacked a defining individual battle, and Hussain believes Kohli’s presence could ignite one.
“I hope he does come back because the only thing this series has been missing is the battle between Kohli and Jimmy Anderson,” Hussain said in a recent Q&A session. “I’m looking forward to that.”
Kohli’s Numbers: A Challenge for Anderson?
While Anderson has dismissed Kohli ten times in international cricket and seven times in Tests, the Indian batsman enjoys a healthy average against England. This head-to-head rivalry promises an exciting contest, with both players looking to prove their dominance.

Kohli’s potential inclusion adds another layer of intrigue, and fans are eagerly waiting to see if he can silence his critics and lead India to victory.
