Stuart Broad comes up with an Instagram story for James Anderson's retirement in reference to Federer-Nadal emotional picture

Roger Federer called it a time in Tennis and has bid adieu to the sport. The image of Rafael Nadal holding the hands of the Swiss legend has been making the rounds on social media. The Indian skipper Virat Kohli shared the post on Instagram and said that it was the best sporting picture ever.

Meanwhile, the English pacer, Stuart Broad took to Instagram and said that he'll react the same when James Anderson retires in 2053.

'Me, when @jimmya9 retires in 2053," the pacer captioned the image that he posted on his Instagram story.

While the English pacer expressed his love for the 40-year-old, Broad also cheekily said the pacer might play till 2053. Speaking of James Anderson, the English star has been fantastic for the Three Lions and is considered a legend in the country.

James Anderson has bagged as many as 667 wickets in the longest format of the game. Speaking of Stuart Broad, the pacer has bagged 566 wickets in Tests. Anderson-Broad has been one of the most threatening duos out there in the longest format of the game.

England's Barmy Army shared the story on their Twitter account and captioned it with four laughing emojis. Albeit one might find it hilarious, Stuart Broad's admiration for James Anderson is a subtle hint from the story.

Stuart Broad - James Anderson partnership has been instrumental in England's success

Speaking of comparison, one can easily compare them to the Tennis duo of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Although Stuart Broad and James Anderson play for the same country, there is competition and great friendship. The duo has played a significant role in taking England Test side to greater heights.

The pace duo might as well continue playing for England as Brendon McCullum recently hinted at their inclusion in the Ashes 2023 squad.

"Yeah, they'll be here. Those guys are phenomenal cricketers. They are quite incredible humans. They could finish any time they wanted and they'd still be considered greats of the game. What they're doing is continuing to build on the legacy they're going to leave for the next generation," Brendon McCullum was quoted as saying.
