Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar penned an emotional farewell note for veteran English seamer James Anderson, celebrating his illustrious ’22-year spell.’ Anderson concluded his remarkable Test career, spanning 188 matches and over two decades, with a high note as England defeated West Indies by an innings and 114 runs on Friday.
The 41-year-old Anderson notably dismissed Tendulkar the most times in Test cricket, taking his wicket nine times. Taking to his official X account, Tendulkar praised Anderson for inspiring generations with his game and wished him a wonderful life ahead.
“Hey, Jimmy! You’ve bowled the fans over with that incredible 22-year spell. Here’s a little wish as you bid goodbye. It has been a joy to watch you bowl – with that action, speed, accuracy, swing and fitness. You’ve inspired generations with your game. Wish you a wonderful life ahead with good health and happiness as you put those new shoes on for the most important spell of your life – the time with family,” Tendulkar wrote on X.
