Indian leg-spinner Amit Mishra also gave a befitting reply to the post by sharing a collage of the highs of Tendulkar’s career achieved against England.

After making his Test debut in 1989, Tendulkar scored his first century against England at Old Trafford, Manchester in 1990; he made 119 not out.
