The opening match of the five-Test series between India and England took place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, resulting in a 28-run victory for England over Team India. The second match of the series is scheduled to commence on February 2 in Visakhapatnam. Notably, England's highly experienced bowler, James Anderson did not find a place in the playing eleven for the Hyderabad Test, but given his stature in world cricket, he remains in discussions and draws attention even in his absence from the action on field.
The well-known English fan group of England’s cricket team, Barmy Army, shared a video on X that amused the netizens. In the video, a person sitting in a tuktuk recorded a goat wandering around the streets of Hyderabad and can be heard singing “Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Anderson.” The Barmy Army gave a humorous caption to the video that left netizens in stitches. They captioned the post with, “Jimmy Anderson walking around Hyderabad this morning."

The 41-year-old pacer, who is part of England’s Test squad for the India tour, is frequently referred to as the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in the realm of seam bowling. With 690 wickets in 145 Test matches, he holds the top spot among pacers with the most Test wickets. Overall, he ranks third on the all-time list, behind Muthiah Muralidaran and Shane Warne.
