'You've Inspired Generations With Your Game': Sachin Tendulkar Pens Special Note For Retiring Anderson
Sachin Tendulkar: Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar penned a special farewell note for retiring England pacer James Anderson on Friday, paying tributes to the speedster for his more than two-decade-long Test career and said he has inspired generations with his game. Anderson retired from international cricket following England's emphatic innings and 114 runs win against West Indies in the first Test at the Lord's to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Anderson scalped four wickets across two innings while debutant Gus Atkinson bagged 12 wickets in the match to rattle the West Indies' batting line-up in both innings.
The 41-year-old Anderson closed his red-ball career with 704 wickets in 188 matches for England. He retires from the format as the highest wicket-taker as a fast bowler. He is the third-highest wicket-taker overall after Muttiah Muralidaran (800) of Sri Lanka and Australia's Shane Warne (708) in Test cricket.
