Ravi Shastri on James Anderson:
Before England’s bowling innings, attention was drawn to a noteworthy poster in Ranchi stating, ‘I will start to study when James Anderson retires.’ Observing the poster, former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri humorously remarked on Anderson’s enduring career, suggesting the fan take a vacation instead.
This lighthearted exchange highlights Anderson’s remarkable longevity in the sport and the admiration he commands, while also emphasizing the jovial banter that often accompanies cricketing events.
Ravi Shastri said, “You’ve got to wait, young man. You are not studying soon, go on a long holiday. It is not happening any time soon,”
Shastri emphasized Anderson’s longevity, stating the cricketer deserves respect for his enduring career. He added, “Got to respect and admire the individual for his sheer longevity. To be around for so long and continue playing at the top level is superb.”
