the retired England cricketer, commended James Anderson for his recent milestone, asserting that no fast bowler will surpass him in the foreseeable future.

The 37-year-old emphasized the need to appreciate Anderson now, considering his consistent prowess in troubling batsmen over the last two decades.

On Day 3 of the fifth Test between India and England in Dharamsala, Anderson achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the first pacer and the third overall to claim 700 wickets in Test cricket. His parents were in attendance at the venue, celebrating their son’s accomplishment as he dismissed Kuldeep Yadav.

In his article for The Daily Mail, Broad stated:

“It's a phenomenal achievement and not one I can see another fast bowler matching. When people talk about Jimmy, they mention the dedication and the mental resilience to keep driving forward, and obviously, you don't play until you're 41without that but this is now the time we should just marvel at his skill, really, because that is what it has taken to get that many wickets in different conditions, challenging the best batters in the world for more than 20 years."

However, the seasoned player with 167 Tests under his belt sensed that India’s commanding innings victory overshadowed Anderson’s achievement.

“It's a shame in a way that he will not be able to remember joining the elite company of Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan for slightly better reasons in the sense that his moment came in a bit of a thumping at the end of a long tour for England."
