Age is just a number to him. Entering the field and leaving the area with new records every day, it has become widespread for him. English pacer James Anderson has taken himself to a unique height with a series of performances. Now new feathers are added to his crown.

This English pacer has taken a maximum of 659 wickets as the only pacer in Tests, the most elite version of cricket. He is regularly creating storm with his swing in the 22 yards of the field. This time, 40-year-old Anderson set a different world record.

He reached the milestone of 100 Test matches in the country’s field by playing in the Test started against South Africa at Old Trafford in England. Since then, he has been praised on social media. Many congratulated him.

Earlier, India’s legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar played the maximum 94 Tests at home. In addition, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has achieved 92 Tests at home. However, Anderson is the only cricketer to have played 100 Tests at home. This is now a world record.

Meanwhile, Sachin holds the record of playing the highest number of Test matches, 200. Anderson, who played 174 Tests, is second in this list. Apart from this, the two legends Ponting and Steve Waugh have played 168 Tests each.

A few days ago, he said that he is not thinking about retirement right now. He is enjoying the game. Who can stop this English pacer? It is now a matter of seeing what other record he will set.
