The legendary Sachin Tendulkar began to be overwhelmed by his departure. Mushfiq-Sachin’s reaction is highlighted for the readers.

Congratulations on a great career, Jimmy Anderson! Best wishes for your retirement, you are a true legend.
Taskin Ahmed:
Happy retirement, Jimmy Anderson!
Your incredible career will be a testament to your passion for the game. Thank you for countless unforgettable moments and inspiring performances. Best wishes to you in this new chapter of your life!
Sachin Tendulkar:
Hi, Jimmy!
Completed an incredible bowling spell of 22 years for the fans. A small expectation at the time of departure, nice to see you bowling with action, pace, accuracy, swing and fitness. You have inspired generations by performing. Now arrange the important spell of your life. May you be happy with the rest of your days with your family and enjoy life to the fullest with good health.’
Yuvraj Singh:
An athlete like James Anderson doesn’t come along every day. World cricket will lose one of its greatest craftsmen if he hangs up his boots!
Your ability to swing the ball both ways with precision and sheer hard work has distinguished you as one of the best pace bowlers of our time.
The sight of you running, hands down, will be sorely missed by all!
As you step into the next chapter of your life, I wish you nothing but the best. It was a pleasure to share the field with you and cricket will surely miss your presence.
