Pant had reverse swept Anderson in a Test match during the 2021 England tour of India.
Anderson recently became the fast bowler with the most international wickets as he went past the record of Australian legend Glenn McGrath’s record of 949 scalps and became the first pacer to go past the 950 wickets mark.
The right-arm fast bowler has claimed 664 Test wickets in 174 matches at an average of 26.26 and an economy of 2.80. He has recorded 32 five-wicket hauls and three five-wicket hauls since donning the England jersey for the first time in 2003 in Tests.

Recently, in a Tiktok video shared on social media sites, Anderson revealed two names from the cricketing world who remain muted on his Twitter timeline – Glenn McGrath and Rishabh Pant.
Glenn McGrath, Australia’s all-time leading wicket-taker, is also muted, despite being one of the game’s most prolific seamers. Another cricketer Anderson has muted is India’s Rishabh Pant, as have the phrases “reverse”, “reverse sweep”, “sweep”, and “sweeping” after Pant crazily reverse swept Anderson for four last year while bowling with the new ball.
Here is the video:
Apart from those names, Anderson has the word “Australia” muted, along with various references to the calf injury that forced him to miss the 2019 Ashes after only four overs and also forced him to miss the first Test of this winter’s Ashes series, including “calf,” “injury,” “injured,” “done,” and “finished.”
Also muted by Anderson are humorous “w*** bowler” and “worse than Steyn,” given the continuous argument over who was better throughout their respective careers. Anderson also had the phrases “cloud”, “clouds”, and “clouderson” muted.
