Shubman Gill and James Anderson may have had a back-and-forth duel here in Dharamsala but former India quick Zaheer Khan reckons it will be interesting to see what happens when the two players come face-to-face when India and England next play a Test match in the UK.

Gill took Anderson - who has historically had the India batter's number - to the cleaners on Day 2 of the fifth Test at the HPCA Stadium on Friday, smashing him for two fours and six in an over.

But if Anderson carries on till India's next tour of England, the battle between the two would be sight for sore eyes.

Zaheer was impressed seeing how long Gill has come - from the first innings in Hyderabad where he went into a shell to batting at his free-flowing self, four Tests later. The India youngster registered his 4th Test century and during the course of his innings, also went past 400 runs for in the series, but what was really encouraging ton see was his mini-assault on Anderson, including the nonchalant six straight down the ground. Gill walked down the wicket and launched Anderson over his head for a six, a disdainful on - so much so that even England captain Ben Stokes couldn't help but appreciate it with a nod.
