James Anderson has bowed out from international cricket after a career spanning 21 years, during which he took the third most wickets in Test cricket. When Anderson walked out for the last time at Lord’s, the stadium was filled to capacity on Friday.
Over his long career, Anderson played alongside two generations of cricketers. From Sachin Tendulkar to Virat Kohli, the right-arm pacer faced many cricketing legends who came and went during his time.

The god of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, sent a special message to his fellow English mate, wishing him a wonderful life ahead. Anderson mentioned in his interview that Tendulkar was the toughest batter he ever bowled to.
